Re: Generating a gromacs topology file for analyzing NAMD trajectories

Hi,
I used once the GROMACS g_covar tool converting first my dcd file to
trr with catdcd and using a pdb file as the Structure+mass input file .
In details:

catdcd -o myfile.trr -otype trr myfile.dcd
g_covar -f myfile.trr -s mypdb.pdb
