Dear lammps developers and users,

Thank you very much for responding my questions always!
Actually I have another quick question about dcd file.
Would you tell me how dcd file looks like inside?
It should be include timesteps and coordinate, so I am thinking to
handle it on matlab picking certain timesteps' datas.
Ascii format is too large if I convert my dcd file...
It might be trivial thing, I would be greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you very much.

Best,
Nanako Takahashi

DCD files are binary, so not sure how you would read them from Matlab.
The format of DCD files is not a LAMMPS issue. I'd look
on the WWW for some site that describes how a DCD file is
formatted. Or look at src/dump_dcd.cpp
