Hi All,

I want to learn how VMD calculates the RMSF. From a previous post, I know
that for the frames and atom selected, it calculates an average position of
the atom for the specified frames. I presume that then it calculates the
distance between the average position and the position each time. But,
my calculation doesn't match the result that I obtain using the rmsf
function. Can somebody explain me how vmd does this calculation?

Thanks,
Maria Antonieta
