[Chimera-users] Chimera crashes when I try to open a .gro file

[Repic Matej]

Hi Raag,

Chimera is not really efficient with big files (many atoms), but you can
try a few of these:

1) run on a machine with lots of ram
2) avoid as many atoms as possible
3) match as few atoms as possible
4) avoid rendering the file
5) if you want to have it rendered, disable smart display (Chimera pref >
New Molecules > Smart Initial Display)

Ad 4) Write a command line chimera script (run with "chimera --nogui
script.cmd"), for example:
-----script.cmd------
open file1.gro file2.pdb
match #0:res #1:res
write format pdb relative 1 0 aligned.pdb
---------------------

Best,
