6.2. CRD structure files in MDAnalysis — MDAnalysis.coordinates.CRD

Read and write coordinates in CHARMM CARD coordinate format (suffix “crd”). The CHARMM “extended format” is handled automatically.

class MDAnalysis.coordinates.CRD.CRDReader(filename, convert_units=True, n_atoms=None, **kwargs)

CRD reader that implements the standard and extended CRD coordinate formats

Changed in version 0.11.0: Now returns a ValueError instead of FormatError. Frames now 0-based instead of 1-based.

Writer(filename, **kwargs)

Parameters

filename (str) – filename of the output CRD file

Return type

CRDWriter

Changed in version 0.11.0: Frames now 0-based instead of 1-based

Parameters

filename (str or NamedStream) – name of the output file or a stream
