NAME
       gmx-velacc - Calculate velocity autocorrelation functions

SYNOPSIS
	  gmx velacc [-f [<.trr/.cpt/...>]] [-s	[<.tpr/.gro/...>]] [-n [<.ndx>]]
		     [-o [<.xvg>]] [-os	[<.xvg>]] [-b <time>] [-e <time>]
		     [-dt <time>] [-[no]w] [-xvg <enum>] [-[no]m] [-[no]recip]
		     [-[no]mol]	[-acflen <int>]	[-[no]normalize] [-P <enum>]
		     [-fitfn <enum>] [-beginfit	<real>]	[-endfit <real>]

DESCRIPTION
       gmx velacc computes the velocity	autocorrelation	function.  When	the -m
       option is used, the momentum autocorrelation function is	calculated.

       With  option -mol the velocity autocorrelation function of molecules is
       calculated. In this case	the index group	 should	 consist  of  molecule
       numbers instead of atom numbers.

       By  using  option  -os you can also extract the estimated (vibrational)
       power spectrum, which is	the Fourier transform of the velocity autocor-
       relation	function.  Be sure that	your trajectory	contains  frames  with
       velocity	information (i.e. nstvout was set in your original .mdp	file),
       and  that  the  time  interval  between	data collection	points is much
       shorter than the	time scale of the autocorrelation.

OPTIONS
       Options to specify input	files:

       -f [<.trr/.cpt/...>] (traj.trr)
	      Full precision trajectory: trr cpt tng

       -s [<.tpr/.gro/...>] (topol.tpr)	(Optional)
	      Structure+mass(db): tpr gro g96 pdb brk ent

       -n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional)
	      Index file

       Options to specify output files:

       -o [<.xvg>] (vac.xvg)
	      xvgr/xmgr	file

       -os [<.xvg>] (spectrum.xvg) (Optional)
	      xvgr/xmgr	file

       Other options:

       -b <time> (0)
	      Time of first frame to read from trajectory (default unit	ps)

       -e <time> (0)
	      Time of last frame to read from trajectory (default unit ps)

       -dt <time> (0)
	      Only use frame when t MOD	dt = first time	(default unit ps)

       -[no]w (no)
	      View output .xvg,	.xpm, .eps and .pdb files

       -xvg <enum> (xmgrace)
	      xvg plot formatting: xmgrace, xmgr, none

       -[no]m (no)
	      Calculate	the momentum autocorrelation function

       -[no]recip (yes)
	      Use cm^-1	on X-axis instead of 1/ps for spectra.

       -[no]mol	(no)
	      Calculate	the velocity acf of molecules

       -acflen <int> (-1)
	      Length of	the ACF, default is half the number of frames

       -[no]normalize (yes)
	      Normalize	ACF

       -P <enum> (0)
	      Order of Legendre	polynomial for ACF (0 indicates	none):	0,  1,
	      2, 3

       -fitfn <enum> (none)
	      Fit function: none, exp, aexp, exp_exp, exp5, exp7, exp9

       -beginfit <real>	(0)
	      Time where to begin the exponential fit of the correlation func-
	      tion

       -endfit <real> (-1)
	      Time  where  to end the exponential fit of the correlation func-
	      tion, -1 is until	the end
