Hi,
You can use the following technique to split up a trajectory file. For a
12000 frame mdcrd that you want to split up into 3 parts, you can do use the
following 3 scripts:
trajin mdcrd 1 4000 1
trajout mdcrd_chunk_1
trajin mdcrd 4001 8000 1
trajout mdcrd_chunk_2
trajin mdcrd 8001 12000 1
trajout mdcrd_chunk_3
One downside of this method is that you'll have to read in the trajectory
file 3 times which could take awhile depending on how big your mdcrd is.
Another option is to only consider every 10 frames when you're doing your
analysis so that it doesn't take quite as much memory:
trajin mdcrd 1 99999999 10
*Enter the rest of your script here*
This will make the computer use 1/10th of the memory needed to process the
whole trajectory.
Good luck!
