Dear Hasan,
By 2D Ewald method, do you mean that you want your periodic cell
replicated infinitely along the xy-plane, but not along the z direction?
If so, then the answer is, no, NAMD does not have a specialized
method for this case, but you can accomplish this by using PME and
including enough vacuum padding so that the periodic cells no longer
"see" each other along the z direction. For a system of length L
along the z direction, it is sufficient to pad above and below by L/2
+ \delta (i.e. there must be > L vacuum between the images).
Hope this helps,
Dave
