Hi,
From your description, you should first align your trajectory frames
so the interesting portions of your solute structure are relatively unmoving.
Then, you would select the ion/atom that you want to see the probability
density for, and compute the density or occupancy maps, perhaps weighted by
some other factor, depending on what you're hoping to get out of it.
Cheers,
John Stone
