I have gone through namd mailing list but did not understand how it is to done .Any help will be highly appreciated.
since .tpr files are a Gromacs specific file format, i find it a bit odd
that you ask about them and look for help on the NAMD mailing list.
nevertheless, here is a way that may help you (or not).
the .tpr file *will* have to be generated by the grompp tool,
which in turn requires a topology or .top file. if you want to
only use the gromacs analysis tools, you may not need a
complete .top file, but something simpler, that can be created
from a .psf/.pdb file combo as you have for a NAMD simulation.
check out:
http://sites.google.com/site/akohlmey/software/topotools/topotools---documentation#TOC-writegmxtop-file-name-
and make sure you use the latest patchlevel from my homepage,
as it contains important bugfixes.
other than that, you have to use gromacs tools, eg. pdb2gmx
to build a fully working .top file and then a .tpr file from it.
cheers,
axel.
