have you considered using LAMMPS for that purpose?
it has very convenient tools to do this out-of the box.
for the typical bio-system (for which NAMD is somewhat
optimized for) LAMPS is 2-3x slower, but for the kind of
simulation that you want to do, it may actually run faster,
_and_ you don't have to make NAMD jump through hoops.
just a thought,
axel.
