[CP2K:7144] Re: Choosing a structure from equilibrium QM/MM trajectory for the next Metadynamics run

[tarak karmakar]

Dear Marcella,
Thanks for the reply.
In the latest metadynamics run, I have selected a frame from the .dcd
trajectory after wrapping the coordinates using the pbc plugin in VMD.
Things are going well as of now.

Regards,
Tarak
