Dear all, I want to visualize solvent(water) distributions around one solute molecule. I do molecular dynamics calculation with Amber8 program. So I got the following ouput file using grid command of Ptraj module to analyze trajectories. This line is ignored 1 rdparm generated grid density 100 -49 50 100 -49 50 100 -49 50 30.000 30.000 30.000 90.000 90.000 90.000 ZYX -49 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 I think the output is in the format of a XPLOR formatted contour file and can visualize this output data within chimera soft ware. But I don't know how to treat this out put file in chimera . Can I use this file directory in chimera or have to do anything else before I use chimera? Thanks Atsutoshi
