[gmx-users] GROMPP COMMAND

[abhijit Kayal]

Can you tell how you make your topology file for graphene sheet?
Because normal way is to do that,
 first copy the oplsaa.ff file in your working directory, the make the
necessary changes in ffnonbonded.itp file and atomname2type.n2t files.
Then run g_x2top. The should not give any error.
Thanks
Abhijit
