you can monitor dynamics during the simulation. 

Within the old XPLOR interface you can achieve course-grain
visualization using the method of eginput/protG/anneal.inp: this
updates the VMD structure after each DYNAmics INTErnal
statement. [Finer grain visualuzation could be achieved by reading
from a trajectory file written during each dynamics interval.]

Better support is available in the Python interface:

from vmdInter import VMDInter
from vmdInter import VMDTraj

vmd=VMDInter()
vmdStruct=vmd.makeObj("dynStruct"); vmdStruct.bonds( AtomSel("not hydro") )
vmdTraj=VMDTraj(vmdStruct);         vmdTraj.saveInterval=5
dyn.setTrajectory( vmdTraj )

where dyn is an IVM.

please let me know if you'd like more details.

regards--
Charles
