Re: Nanotube Simulation

Maybe this is too obvious, but I do not see it - and I have experience with
both NAMD and VMD.

I can save coordinates (pdb or other formats) once a nanotube is created,
but I see no way of getting a PSF file. I looked into the User's Guide and
tried the Automated PSF builder plugin, but I cannot figure this out.

If you can be more specific ...

Thanks again,
Miro
