I am trying to run a Radial Distribution Function (RDF) trajectory analysis between water (WAT) hydrogen atoms and ligand (UNN) nitrogen atoms using the production trajectory (prod1.crd) and the parameter file (solvated.prmtop).

When i use the rdf.in file as;

parm solvated.prmtop

trajin prod1.crd

radial rdf.xmgr 0.1 15.0 :WAT@H:UNN@N

The calculation ends in less than 1 second, and no output file gets generated.

However, if I modify the rdf.in to;

parm solvated.prmtop

trajin prod1.crd

trajout rdf.xmgr

radial rdf.xmgr 0.1 15.0 :WAT@H:UNN@N

and run the analysis using "cpptraj rdf.in", it starts to generate an output file (rdf.xmgr) that is 60+ Gb in size which cannot be read using xmgrace (Column count incorrect) as it seems to be an coordinates file (picture enclosed).

Will you please help me troubleshoot the cause and find a proper solution?
