[gmx-users] Fatal error: Number of atoms in Topology is not the same as in Trajectory

[Shima Arasteh]

Do you mean that I re-run NPT step with the new index file and npt.gro (which I got from the last NPT equilibration)? That's not clear to me yet.



Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Shima

So, I tried to remove them from npt.gro, update the number of atoms in .gro file, and then update number of SOL molecules in top file.Finally I made a new index file to go on.

Re-run equilibration with your altered system.  You had a (maybe) equilibrated 
system that you have now perturbed, so it's no longer equilibrated.  If the 
previous equilibration had been adequate (assuming your topology is stable and 
your .mdp settings are correct), then you should not have had to make these 
modifications.
