Description
gmxnmens generates an ensemble around an average structure in a subspace that is defined by a set of
normal modes (eigenvectors). The eigenvectors are assumed to be mass-weighted. The position along each
eigenvector is randomly taken from a Gaussian distribution with variance kT/eigenvalue.
By default the starting eigenvector is set to 7, since the first six normal modes are the translational
and rotational degrees of freedom.
