Thanks Justin. I do use a .pdb file as the topology file, which is also in Angstrom, not in full format of pdb though (basically atom index ,name and coordinates). So in my case, gromacs will read all the coordinates in angstrom? Thus I need to ignore the units nm in output .xvg files. Do I understand it correctly?
