Description
With multiplefiles specified for the -f option:
Concatenates several energy files in sorted order. In the case of double time frames, the one in the
later file is used. By specifying -settime you will be asked for the start time of each file. The input
files are taken from the command line, such that the command gmxeneconv-f*.edr-ofixed.edr should do
the trick.
With onefile specified for -f:
Reads one energy file and writes another, applying the -dt, -offset, -t0 and -settime options and
converting to a different format if necessary (indicated by file extensions).
-settime is applied first, then -dt/-offset followed by -b and -e to select which frames to write.
Known Issues
• When combining trajectories the sigma and E^2 (necessary for statistics) are not updated correctly.
Only the actual energy is correct. One thus has to compute statistics in another way.
