[gmx-users] xtc file and trr file

[Acoot Brett]

This explaination of Justin is correct. For VMD read trr file, it cannot read more than 522 frames, and it can read far more than 522 frames of xtc file.

However if the XTC is too large, VMD will gives the error of runtime error. Can anyone solve this problem?
 
I will try gmxcheck.
 
Cheers,

It is possible that VMD ran out of memory attempting to load the full-precision .trr files.  Using VMD is not a definitive measure of the contents of the file; gmxcheck is.
