Hi Ekta,
VMD provides both the PMEPot
(http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/pmepot/) and APBSRunba
(http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/apbsrun/) plugins to help
with electrostatics calculations. Of these, PMEPot is probably the one
you want to look at if you're interested in analyzing a trajectory from
NAMD; please see the paper referenced on the plugin page.
