[gmx-users] Water models usage info

[trevor brown]

Dear Mark,
Thank you for your reply which solved my problem.
I want to add something for all gmx-users. I looked at the force field
folders in share/top in which possible usable water models for each force
field are listed in watermodels.dat files. If you want to use a different
model that is not included in the list, look at the "pdb2gmx" title
at the end of the manual.

Not all water models are intended to go with all force fields. G43a1
does not define the HW atom type used for TIP3P water, possibly by
Berk's design :-). I don't remember whether it's reasonable to want to
use TIP3P with the GROMOS forcefields, but presumably SPC water will
work with them.
