Hi, thanks a lot for your quick answer... However, when I try the options you suggest for -cycl/nocycl, the program indeed ask for arguments:
------------------------------------------------------- Program g_wham, VERSION 4.5 Source code file: statutil.c, line: 338 Fatal error: Expected a string argument for option -cycl ----------------------------------------------------------------- Besides, I think you have misunderstood me. When I use the option -cycl YES it's when I obtain the second column with zeros. I am working with a channel inserted into a membrane, but it is not exactly symmetric, this is why I would like to see the results obtained not using the option -cycl yes in Gromacs. Any suggestion? Thanks again for your help.
