2025.0                                            Feb 10, 2025                                     GMX-VELACC(1)

gmxvelacc  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 autocorrelation 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.
