[gmx-users] Topology and force fields

[Gareth Tribello]

Hello

I think what you have been told is wrong.  You need to include both
"ffcharmm27.itp" and "tip3p.itp" as the atomtypes in your tip3p.itp will
otherwise not be defined.  There is an easy way to check though - take out
the include ffcharmm27.itp and try to run grompp on your new topology.  My
bet would be that it won't work and, if you are using rigid molecules, it
will tell you that it finds a settles section in the wrong place.

ciao
Gareth
