[gmx-users] Carbon Nanotube Simulation Issues

[Yang Ye]

Hi,

Sorry that most of us on the list were too busy to read one full page of 
details and download individual files. We might just prefer to download 
one package, and run a script file for us quickly dive into the problem.

Is include in mdout_test.mdp a standard option? Where did you get it? I 
changed it to

include = IffG43b1.n2t

It works. Otherwise, cpp terminates before it generates a full top. 
grompp -pp is always a good friend for grompp error (and thorough 
reading of chapter 5 of manual).

Next issue comes the format of ffG43b1.n2t. I don't think it conforms to 
any GROMACS topology format. Again where does it comes from?

My grompp command line:
grompp_s -f mdout_test.mdp -c SWNT_6_6_144_b4em.gro -p 
SWNT_6_6_144_post_genbox.top -maxwarn 10000000 -pp

It gives a pass, at least.

Hope you can work further on.

Regards,
Yang Ye
