Description#

gmx scattering calculates SANS and SAXS scattering curves using Debye method.

The scattering intensity, I(q), as a function of scattering angle q with averaging over frames.

Options#

Options to specify input files:

-f [<.xtc/.trr/…>] (traj.xtc) (Optional): Input trajectory or single configuration: xtc trr cpt gro g96 pdb tng
-s [<.tpr/.gro/…>] (topol.tpr) (Optional): Input structure: tpr gro g96 pdb brk ent
-n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional): Extra index groups

Options to specify output files:

-o [<.xvg>] (scattering.xvg) (Optional): scattering intensity as a function of q

Other options:

-b <time> (0): First frame (ps) to read from trajectory
