Hi Vijayan, There must be a script somewhere in the archives (http://www.mail-archive.com/gmx-users@gromacs.org/msg02871.html) that calculates the RMSIP from the XPM file of eigenvector inner products.

The RMSIP only indicates whether the subspaces sampled are similar, nothing about the extent of sampling, and nothing about the convergence. The "essential subspace" (ugh, ugh, cough!, pardon me) usually converges much faster than the sampling. And the cosine content... Well, it will show you whether the simulation did not yet converge. Check some recent replies I gave on the list about that.
