Hi Alessio!!

To combine multiple psf/pdf files you can use a script like this:

------------
package require psfgen
resetpsf

readpsf complex.psf
readpsf membrane.psf
readpsf solvate.psf

coordpdb complex.pdb
coordpdb membrane.pdb
coordpdb solvate.pdb

writepsf all.psf
writepdb all.pdb

puts "HE TERMINADO!!!!"

quit
--------------

To do this you write a text file with the needed comands and makes vmd
to execute them with the -e flag (and usually with the -dispdev flag
too, to avoid the graphic windows of vmd while it runs the script):

%vmd -dispdev text -e myneatscript.tcl

You can read as many psf/pdb files as you need and merge them in one
pair of psf/pdb.
The puts part isnot really needed, but it can tell you that the script
finished correctly and is fun :)

Hope this helps,

Luis
