Hi Justin,

Thanks for your reply, i have no particular choice i was using it for my
other work and just started with it.

Now i tried it again with spc model,

I still get the following error.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Program grompp, VERSION 4.5.4
Source code file: toppush.c, line: 1166

Fatal error:
Atomtype OWT3 not found
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I could see these atoms are defined in .itp file of gromos force filed, but
i suspect some thing is going wrong with atom types in .atp file.

any suggestions?

Thanks
Srinivs.
