[gmx-users] different sets of fudgeQQ and fudgeLJ

[Yun Shi]

Hi Mark,

I don't quite understand what it follows "only one [defaults] section can
exist in an entire topology".

Then how to specify different fudge values for different subsets of
non-bonded interactions?

When defining new atom types, should I always use 'new' atomtypes names? For
example, if the atom type "H2" already exists for part A, then I should use
something different like "H2B" to define similar atomtypes in part B?

But if I can use only one [ defaults ] section, even within different .itp
files under the same .top file, how could I tell the program to apply
different fudge values to H2 as defined in A.itp and H2B as defined in
B.itp?

Thanks,
Yun

As you will see in the examples in chapter 5, only one [defaults]
section can exist in an entire topology. Further, the fudge values only
apply to a subset of non-bonded interactions. For the kind of
calculation you have in mind, you will need to define new atom types for
the modified interactions.
