[Chimera-users] ORCA XYZ FILES

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Rade,
	If ORCA writes XYZ files in "standard" XYZ format as described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYZ_file_format <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYZ_file_format> then Chimera should be able to read them as a trajectory (as described here: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ContributedSoftware/movie/framemovie.html <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ContributedSoftware/movie/framemovie.html>).
	When you say "bond interactions", do you mean that bonds break and form over the course of the trajectory?  Chimera can handle that, but it requires some arcane magic to turn that on -- I can describe the necessary steps if you need that capability.

My concern is if your software will be able to create a movie of bond interactions with multiple time frames using ORCA XYZ output files. I would greatly appreciate it if you can give in some input. I hope to hear from you. Thank you for your time and consideration.
