Hi Kurt,
One would normally load the PSF file first. If you have problems
loading the PSF file, send us the error messages your getting. I assume
you're fabricating the PSF file with your own code since the coarse-
grained models don't really fit any of the existing file formats well?
Another option for dealing with coarse-grained models better would be
to write a file reader plugin for VMD that reads your data from whatever
its native format it is rather than trying to express it as PSF/PDB which
is bound to be somewhat clunky.
