VMD is a program from the same group, used to display the trajectories and by using some Tcl and Phyton scripts, we can do "some" post MD analysis.But, in my opinion, the tools available are "few".Heard about another GPL software, GROMACS, that in addition of doing MD, as already several analysis tools implemented.In the meanwhile (thinking in migrating to gmx), we want to try analyse our NAMD2 results within GROMACS, if this is possible. The relevant files to analyse trajectory inside namd2, are a binary trajectoryfile, .dcd , and a .psf file describing the molecular structure.Is it possible to analyse my namd2 runs in GROMACS? Thank you very much.Leon Salgado

You will have to convert the trajectory files. THere probably exists
something that can convert dcd to e.g. Amber ascii format. Look for
Babel.
