Hi Rabab,
You can use NAMDenergy as a script.In other words you can just call it on
the tclconsole. In that case there is no need to load the dcdfile into VMD.
I think if you do it that way you will have no memory problems. Maybe you
are already doing it that way. In that case I am sorry to restate what u
already did :)
Best,
Mert
