Dear James,

I think your question is actually not suitable for the AMBER list.
Probably the most suitable is the VMD list. As I answered to you on the
NAMD list already, you can use the NetworkView as it is with Carma,
there is no need to generate a priori the matrix. You can use VMD to
create a PSF file (writepsf command) from any PDB file or AMBER
topology. Also you can use VMD (animate write dcd) to convert Amber
trajectories to dcd.

For sure you can also modify the NetworkView plugin to read in matrices
from other programs or to use other programs than carma to generate the
matrices, but you'd need to modify the tcl code of the plugin and unless
you are absolutely sure of what you are doing, I'd advise against this
option. Moreover, this option is significantly more work intense and
time consuming than my suggestion above.

Best wishes
Vlad
