Should I find neighbors of every carbon atom, and list them in the [ bonds ] directive? It'll be hard to do it. I didn't find x2top helpful to write the topology of a carbon nanotube.  And is the [ bonds ] directive indispensable?

x2top should work, but you may have to edit the .n2t file slightly.
Furthermore you have to select the right forcefield (only one
supported). I don't know whether the impropers will be OK though.

If prodrg works, thats probably more accurate.
