Re: Trying to run a setup with amber force field in NAMD

actually, if you have the amber ff in charmm format, you can use
psfgen to get psf/pdb and use them in the simulation. Then you do not
need to specify that it's actually amber format. Note, you will have
to adjust the 1-4 exclusions.

If you do have only the native amber ff, you can use leap, which is
part of the ambertools package to set up your system (see
corresponding manual). To my understanding the resulting crd/top files
can be directly used in namd. Check, however, the namd manual on the
format of the amber files. I do not know, if the format used now by
leap is different from the amber6/7 which namd supports
