[Chimera-users] Problem loading trajectories ....

[sharada]

Dear Chimera-users,
 
    Hello, I am a brand new entry into this forum. I  have started using chimera recently. I use Gromacs for my molecular modeling work.  Till I become friendly with chimera I need your valuable suggestions and cooperations. I  request you to kindly  bear with my very silly doubts and questions. Let me explain my problem.
    I have a protein of 35 residues and have simulated in a box of water for 10ns. My protein has charge so in order to neutralize it I have added counterions randomly placed them in the solvent(water). The  counter ions that I am adding are Cl- ions. I have created a *.trr file of the tracjectory for this 10ns. I would like to visulaize this trajectory using chimera. I am using Tools /MD/Ensemble Analysis /MD Movie to load the trr file. when I do so I am getting the following error:
Unknown molecule type: CL-
TypeError: __len__() should return an int
(see reply log for Python traceback info)
Traceback (most recent call last):

What exactly is the problem ? How to solve it ?
