How can I read DCD files?

02 February 2015 1 10K Report

Dear all,

I was wondering how one can read DCD files. When I open a DCD file I see hexadecimal numbers. How can I read or process DCD files?

Thanks very much in advance.

hi,

You can write your own script to convert binary dcd file into readable format or you can also use charmm do it. What do you mean by processing dcd file?
