Re: Calculate energy of a residue using NAMD energy

Dear all,

Thank you for the responses. I tried the script again with "package require
namdenergy" and solved half of the problem I guess. However, the output now
looks like,

 namdEnergy) Running
namdEnergy) namd-temp.namd

*couldn't execute "": no such file or directory*

I thought the error is coming from the parameter file I specified but the
log says the parameter file is taken into consideration. The error is there
even if I use the default parameter file. Looks like a minor thing but it
is still not working. Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks.
Monika
