Dear Justin.

Thank you for you answer.

But, the case I wrote, it was an ideally case. To help anyone in the forum at the same time.

As soon as I have read your answer I tried. In my case my simulations were:

First simulation: 0.4ns
Second : 1ns
Third: 2ns
Fourth: 10ns
----------------------
Total = 13.4ns

So I planned to do an RMSD plot of 0-13.4ns. As I said before, each simulation is the continuation of the previous, obviously to do this I used checkpoint files for each simulation and the same MD.mdp, only changed the time of simulation.

I did:

trajcat -f md_0_4ns_noPBC.xtc md_1ns_noPBC.xtc md_2ns_noPBC.xtc md_10ns_noPBC.xtc -o TOTAL_13_4ns_noPBC.xtc

Then for curiosity I did > ls -lh

rw-r--r-- 1 willy bioinfo   368M  2011-06-01 13:10 md_0_4_noPBC.xtc
-rw-r--r-- 1 willy bioinfo  917M  2011-06-01 13:12 md_1ns_noPBC.xtc
-rw-r--r-- 1 willy bioinfo  917M  2011-06-01 13:13 md_2ns_noPBC.xtc
-rw-r--r-- 1 willy bioinfo  9.0G   2011-06-01 13:17 md_10ns_noPDB.xtc
-rw-r--r-- 1 willy bioinfo  9.0G   2011-06-01 15:44 TOTAL_13_4ns_noPBC.xtc

Surprisingly the file "TOTAL_13_4ns_noPBC.xtc" had the same size of the file "md_10ns_noPDB.xtc", is it normal?


No, it's not. But I don't know what you really typed. For one, the command is not "trajcat," it's "trjcat." As well, the file name is "md_10ns_noPDB.xtc," apparently, not "md_10_noPBC.xtc." Please always copy and paste your commands from the terminal; due to the filename inconsistency I can't tell where the error is. Please post:

1. The real command, copied and pasted
2. The output of gmxcheck on each of the .xtc files

Another problem is that you haven't used -settime (or maybe you did, but your command might not be transcribed properly), which would cause overlapping frames to over-write one another.

Continue with the process, then:

>g_rms -s molecule_sol_ion_MD_0_4ns.tpr -f TOTAL_13_4ns_noPDB.xtc -o rmsd_13_4ns_molecule.xvg -tu ns

I open the .XVG as a simple .txt and I noticed that the time only reach 10ns or 10000ps. Why not 13.4ns?

I would be very grateful If you can tell me what is happening.

I can't tell yet. If you've omitted -settime, then you're overwriting frames and ending up with fragmented input. If you're not specifying the correct filenames, you might be skipping times.
