Hi Gaurav

So, you have a series of  pdbs's (X files) instead of *one* trajectory file?
Simply concatenate the pdbs and you will get a trajectory, surely VMD is
able to read.
I've done this once, but I don't remember if it was necessary to add a
specific field tag inbetween the pdbs concatenated, in order for VMD to read
the trajectory as containing X frames, instead of reading it as X models.

P.s. If I come to reason, I will post the answer here ;).
