Hi Francesco,

If you use lammps you can calculate g(r) directly.

Also, if you have the trajectories you can have it using OVITO.

Open the trajectorie

go to "Add modification" and then to "coordination analysis": there you have it.

I used GROMACS to generate the trajectories.

I was able to obtain some radial distribution functions with VMD, however these are the so-called h(r) (basically a counting of the contacts), while I would like to have true g(r).

use gromacs tools gmx_rdf:

In case you are still wondering how to do it with VMD:
