Dear Axel,

I went through the instructions given by you in that link for detection and
removal of overlapped atoms in VMD. It seems it only applies for biological
structures with extension of "PDB" or "PSF". I have two Lammps data files
for merging and it doesn't accept the extension of data file I want to
load through " set solute [mol new solute.psf waitfor all]"; It says,
"Could not determine file type for file '......' from its extension, when I
loaded into my VMD TkCosole. May you please let me know how it works for
non-biological structures to build a data file of two merged structures
with no atom overlapping?

Thank you very much.

Best,
Amir
