Dear Tsjerk, once again thank you for your very useful suggestions. I'm not sure that there are many clusters in my trajectory, so I don't want to lower my cutoff. Instead I'm quite surprise to find that it should be a problem related to the absence of transitions, I don't understand why the program blocks without writing any output (including the average structure of the cluster) only because it does not find any transition. Anyway, I will take out the analysis concerning transitions to see what will happen to the system. (Probably now I'm too much suspicious about rhombic dodecahedron system: it's the first time I'm using it and I'm experimenting a lot of problems, whereas with my beloved tetrahedric cell I made these analyses dozens of times without too much troubles...)

The problem arises because you only get one cluster using a cutoff of 0.25 nm. If you're certain there are some clusters to be identified, despite the low RMSD values that sort of indicate there is not much variation, then you can lower the cutoff. The error also does not pertain to the RMSD matrix, but probably to the matrix of transitions, because there aren't any. Please do note that this has absolutely nothing to do with using a rhombic dodecahedron :p Cheers, Tsjerk -- Tsjerk A.
