[CP2K-user] Thoughts on RDFs for NPT ensemble simulations?

Hi,

REFTRAJ allows you to read a trajectory back into CP2K. You can read the 
coordinates back in, read a second file with cell parameters 
(https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/MOTION/MD/REFTRAJ.html), and then 
dump a DCD file 
(https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/MOTION/PRINT/TRAJECTORY.html). 

Alternatively, you can compute a RDF with TRAVIS 
(http://www.travis-analyzer.de/). This will read a trajectory in XYZ format 
and you can replace the comment line with the lattice parameters in 
Angstroms and degrees (a b c alpha beta gamma). You'd have to swap these 
frame-by-frame using a Unix-y solution like sed. I think the program can 
read the cell parameters from an external file as well.
