things don't work like this. you have to first understand how the
necessary information for running an MD is collected from CHARMM
style input files. for example, psfgen processes input data based on
residues and compares them to a topology database. for the kind of
system it would be easier to generate the parameter file manually and
you don't need psfgen, just load the .pdb and save it again as .psf
(after deleting all bonds).
please note that the whole build and usage process and the corresponding
tutorials and documentation for NAMD assume that you are working on
biomolecules, i.e. take a crystal structure from the PDB and then want to
set up a simulation for that.
