 Dear Justin Lemkul

Hi

 thank you for your kind answer

according to your advice, we changed #include "fftest.itp" to "#include
"oplsaa.ff/fftest.itp" in the test.top.

fftest.itp contains the following cases:

; topolbuild version 1.3
; Command line:
;     /home/Hossein/Desktop/topolbuild1_3/src/topolbuild -n test -dir
/home/Hossein/Desktop/topolbuild1_3/dat/gromacs -ff oplsaa
;
#define _FF_OPLS
#define _FF_OPLSAA
#define _FF_USER

[ defaults ]
;nbfunc     comb-rule      gen-pairs     fudgeLJ      fudgeQQ
  1               3               yes             0.5     0.5

#include "ffoplsaanb.itp"


 test.top contains the following cases:

;
; Topology from .mol2 file
; topolbuild version 1.3
; Command line:
;     /home/Hossein/Desktop/topolbuild1_3/src/topolbuild -n test -dir
/home/Hossein/Desktop/topolbuild1_3/dat/gromacs -ff oplsaa
;
; The force field files to be included
#include "oplsaa.ff/fftest.itp"

 [ moleculetype ]
; name  nrexcl
insulin2.pdb   3

unfortunately after writing "grompp -f ions.mdp -c test.gro -p test.top -o
ions.tpr

I confronted the new error "topology include file "oplsaa.ff/fftest.itp"
not found





I am looking forward to getting your guidance.
