Gaussian ADMP/BOND: get xyz coords from trajectory

Good Morning.

I am hoping that your expertise with Gaussian and ADMP/BOND can help me to obtain a set of xyz coordinates of the trajectory so that I can display and make a movie of the trajectory of a corresponding reaction.

GView provides graphs of many properties quite nicely. One can also perform an animation of the trajectory quite easily.

But, I would like to have the coordinates of the trajectory separately for visualization. I tried several options. For example, using cclib library command, one can extract coordinates, but they are usually only one set of coordinates corresponding to optimized values. I also tried some python scripts to no avail. I thought there might be some trick (similar to the one for saving data for individual plots of data) that one could use within GView, but I couldn't see it!

I know and understand that you are the master of this. Would it be possible for you to provide help on how to save the coordinates from an ASMP/BOND trajectory?

Thanks so much for your help with this.

Kind regards,

Angelo

This problem is irrelevant to wavefunction analysis, so I moved this topic to quantum chemistry board.

Its BOMD rather than BOND.

You can use my code//www.umsyar.com/126to convert ADMP/BOMD output file of Gaussian to .xyz trajectory file.
