Try using the “bigdcd” plugin.

I am trying VMD text mode for the first time since I have really large DCD files. I tried loading my DCD, but it doesn't seem to load all of the frames. I do:

mol new Simulation_QwikMD.psf type psf
mol addfile MD1.dcd type dcd first 0 last -1 step 1

There should be 90,000 frames, but i only loads ~3,200 frames. What am I doing wrong? Is VMD text mode still RAM dependent for DCD file sizes that can be loaded?
