Re: Non bonding energy calculation through NAMD

As an alternative, you can start namdenergy with the -debug flag set
(either via the command line or GUI interface), but then kill the namd job
that it spawns, and then namd yourself instead. Behind the scenes it just
writes some temporary files to your working directory that can be run using
whatever combination of namd commands you wish.
Best,
Peter
