Just guessing here but maybe you need to also add YB to the atomtypes.atp file.


The .atp file is only read by pdb2gmx, so that's not going to be the issue with grompp.

Subject: Re: [gmx-users] Adding ion to force field

Thanks, leaving out .ff worked!

I’m still having a bit of trouble using the resulting .gro and .top files, though. I’m trying to create an executable that adds ions to the box, with the command

grompp -f ions.mdp -c box_h2o.gro -o ions.tpr -p topol.top

which gives me the error

Fatal error:
Syntax error - File ffnonbonded.itp, line 1 Last line read:
'[ atomtypes ]'
Invalid order for directive atomtypes

All I did was to add a line to the end of [atomtypes] with the info for the new ion:

YB          70     173.04    0.0000  A   1.65600e+00  4.00000e-02

What could be the problem?


So you modified ffnonbonded.itp directly?  grompp is choking on the first line, which is really bizarre, so it should have nothing to do with a line added at the end.  Can you upload your force field directory somewhere?
