Thanks Justin
I m running the command
" mdrun -s em.tpr " and I did get the confout.gro file as output.
after that I am running the command
" perl inflategro.pl confout.gro 0.95 DPPC 0 system_shrink1.gro 5
area_shrink1.dat "
and then again the energy minimization command.
" mdrun -s em.tpr "
After that I am solvating the system.
I did put a local copy of vdwradii.dat in my working directorie and change
the value of C from 0.15 to 0.375.
I am solvating my system by the command
" genbox -cp system_shrink1.gro -cs spc216.gro -o system_solv.gro -p
topol.top "
after that I am adding the ions in the system by the command
" grompp -f ions.mdp -c system_solv.gro -p topol.top -o ions.tpr "
But now I am getting an error
number of coordinates in coordinate file (system_solv.gro, 8218)
does not match topology (topol.top, 1956)
can you please help what caused this error.
Thanking you
