Hi,
If you have a Unix machine handy, you can use the CatDCD program to strip
away atoms you're not interested in seeing. Typically, you'd use atom
selections in VMD to generate an 'index' file that CatDCD can use to
select the atoms you want to keep. You'd also produce matching psf/pdb files
using the '$sel writeXXX' atom selection file writing feature in VMD.
Once you have matching PSF/PDB/DCD files, you could then load it all up
into VMD.
