Hi all,
I had fortran programs to read the dcd file format generated by
version 2.5 of namd.
Now it seems that in version 2.6 there has been a change in the DCD format and
the programs do not seem to be able to read the coordinate files anymore.
Previously I read the dcd files using:
open(10,file=dcdfile,status='old',form='unformatted')
read(10) dummyc, nset, (dummyi,i=1,8), dummyr, (dummyi,i=1,9)
read(10) dummyi, dummyr
read(10) ntotat
do i = 1, nframes
read(10) (x(i,j),j=1,ntotat)
read(10) (y(i,j),j=1,ntotat)
read(10) (z(i,j),j=1,ntotat)
end do
Now it seems that the header is the same, but there is a line
between the coordinates of each frame (with 12 real number in
my simulation, I don't know if that is general):
do i = 1, nframes
read(10) (t, i =1, 12)
read(10) (x(i,j),j=1,ntotat)
read(10) (y(i,j),j=1,ntotat)
read(10) (z(i,j),j=1,ntotat)
end do
What is the information contained in that line? The numbers seem to
zero or another number I couldn't identify the meaning. Was that
change in the DCD file format done for which reason? Not surprisingly
the new dcd file is a somewhat larger.
Thanks,
Leandro.
Ps. I think I sent this mail before and uncomplete by mistake. Sorry.
