Hi Thomas,

This question is not really related to NAMD. A better place for 'analysis' type of questions is VMD mailing list.

Anyway, If your trajectory fits into RAM, you can use VMD volmap plugin to compute water density distribution averaged across the entire simulation. However, manual scripting might be required if "entry points" move around.

I have a long trajectory of a transporter and want to find the main entrance points of water. I can see by manual inspection the various entrance points but it is difficult to decide which is/are the most important.
