Hello!
I am trying to use the packstat application for measuring the quality of my model. But, I'm not sure what the terms in output mean? (there is no info in user guide/documentation). I came up with the flags I've used from the RosettaHoles2 paper. As per the paper, it should output some pdb and also output explicit representation of voids. But, I donot see any output files. I only get the commandline output with three score columns.
Could someone clarify?

Are you talking about the line which looks like this?
From what I understand, the first number after the PDB name is the number of centers (the number of residues), the second is the number of spheres (more-or-less the number of atoms considered), and the final bit is the packing score (0-1 scale, with more packed being closer to 1.0). Read the Sheffler et al. papers to get a better understanding of the details.
