[CP2K:7606] Re: how to keep the atom's trajectory within the box

[王胜杰]

Dear Huan,

I didn't display the trajectory, because the trajectory file is really big, 
thus it can't be dragged to VMD.  I wrote a little program to identify it. 
First I found the min and max coordinates in the initial configuration, in 
ensemble NVT, when the atom coordinates less than min or larger than max, 
identify it crossing the boundary. And print out which atom and during 
which step.
Sure I can split the trajectory into several parts, but splitting costs too 
much time, and VMD always crash.

Best wishing,
Shengjie Wang
