Thank you Hai for sharing the link, nice presentation.

I don’t know why but the NetCDF issue in VMD and how to load files were raised raised in the amber, vmd and chimera lists yesterday and apparently the trajectory conversion suggestion was in a completely different forum, as well as the description regarding how to load files in chimera.

Best regards
