18 gmx order computes the order parameter per atom for carbon tails. For
19 atom i the vector i-1, i+1 is used together with an axis. The index
20 file should contain only the groups to be used for calculations, with
21 each group of equivalent carbons along the relevant acyl chain in its
22 own group. There should not be any generic groups (like System, Pro‐
23 tein) in the index file to avoid confusing the program (this is not
24 relevant to tetrahedral order parameters however, which only work for
25 water anyway).
26 gmx order can also give all diagonal elements of the order tensor and
28 even calculate the deuterium order parameter Scd (default). If the
29 option -szonly is given, only one order tensor component (specified by
30 the -d option) is given and the order parameter per slice is calculated
31 as well. If -szonly is not selected, all diagonal elements and the deu‐
32 terium order parameter is given.
33 The tetrahedrality order parameters can be determined around an atom.
35 Both angle an distance order parameters are calculated. See P.-L. Chau
36 and A.J. Hardwick, Mol. Phys., 93, (1998), 511-518. for more details.
