>   Hi,

     Thank you for your answer. yes, I know that I should make my own
forcefield in my working directory, and I made this forcefield, but when I
use x2top to generate itp file, gromacs could not find  my own forcefield
(I named the forcefield file clayff.ff) in my working directory. Gromacs
use the oplsaa in the share/top file instead, and obviusly the itp file
doesn't generate. So, I asked again to be sure about my procedure.

In my last project I modified oplsaa for generating itp file for graphen
and I did not have this problem. Gromacs could easily recognize the
forcefiled file in current directory, but in clayff case I can't understand
why it read forcefield in shar/top instead of in current directory!
