Re: How to generate the tcouple file for NAMD runs?

Dear Catherine,

Use VMD. Load the coordinate (pdb or coor) file used in your namd config.
 From the extensions menu, open the TkCon window. Then (replacing text
between < > symbols with your desired values):

set allAtomsSel [atomselect top all]
$allAtomsSel set occupancy 0
set tcoupledAtomSel [atomselect top "<YOUR SELECTION TEXT FOR TEMP COUPLED
ATOMS>"]
$tcoupledAtomSel set occupancy <TEMP TO WHICH ATOMS SHOULD BE COUPLED>
$allAtomsSel writepdb tCoupledFile.pdb

Best,
Chris
