Make your own custom analysis
In this example, a user can follow the instructions in /feasst/plugin/example/include/analyze_example.h to make their own custom analysis. In some cases, it is preferable to implement the analysis within FEASST rather than analyze stored configurations in order to limit the number of configurations that need to be saved to disk.
In this relatively trivial example, the geometric center of all (PBC wrapped) sites is computed for an ideal gas fluid. The PBCs are centered on the origin, so the result should be the origin, within statistical error.
