Description
gmxsans computes SANS spectra using Debye formula. It currently uses topology file (since it need to
assigne element for each atom).
Parameters:
-pr Computes normalized g(r) function averaged over trajectory
-prframe Computes normalized g(r) function for each frame
-sq Computes SANS intensity curve averaged over trajectory
-sqframe Computes SANS intensity curve for each frame
-startq Starting q value in nm
-endq Ending q value in nm
-qstep Stepping in q space
Note: When using Debye direct method computational cost increases as 1/2 * N * (N - 1) where N is atom
number in group of interest.
WARNING: If sq or pr specified this tool can produce large number of files! Up to two times larger than
number of frames!
