Hi Enrico,
ChimeraX relies on MessagePack for its session saving, and MessagePack has a limit of 4.3GB for a single object, and your loaded trajectory model must be larger than that.  Saving a session with all your trajectory data would use a bunch of disk space and be slow to load.  I’d recommend instead just working with your original non-trajectory structure, saving that as a session once it’s the way you want, and then after restoring that session then load in the full trajectory coordinates.

Dear Chimera-X users!

I got the following error on my  iMAC equipped with Intel CPU after an attempt to save a Chimera-x (ver 1.71) session containing a loaded netcdf trajectory with 7500 frames (with the same system containing only 5000 frames, ain't no problems !!).

Yours with thanks

Enrico
