Hmm, you appear to have stumbled into a bug with how psfs are written,
as my tests show that it fails to write them out too if I use
guessbonds. If you are just trying to delete waters, the psfgen
userguide (www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/psfgen/ug.pdf) has a
handy little section devoted to this very topic, and you'd save yourself
quite a bit of heartache until someone fixes the psf writer.

There are no bonds mentioned in that psf file ( all other parameters are present). That means the problem I am facing is in animate command.

As others have pointed out on this list, there is a perfectly serviceable nanotube builder (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/nanotube/) and the usual solvation schemes (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/solvate/) will get you a nanotube in water without needing to rebuild bond tables.

I used animate write psf script to create this psf file. But in the generated psf file the bonds are missing (0 bonds). Though when I used guess bonds and then numbonds in tcl it shows the correct no. What could be the possible solution for this problem. Please suggest.
