Thank you Justin and Mark.


Using "-water select" works:


Select the Water Model:
 1: TIP4P-D   TIP 4-point with increased dispersion
 2: None

I think using "-water tip4pd" will always cause errors, without allowing me to select the forcefield. I also put the ff directory to my launching folder, but still the same problem.


Simply using "-water tip4p" will allow me to select the forcefield. But I want to use tip4pd, not tip4p.




The below is the error message.

Thank you Justin.


The "watermodels.dat" and "tip4pd.itp" are already in the ff subdirectory.


The "watermodels.dat" content is:
tip4pd   TIP4P-D   TIP 4-point with increased dispersion


But "-water tip4pd" still has the error.

I got the a99SB-disp forcefield with tip4pd.itp as the water model.


The a99SB-disp.ff file has been copied: "/usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top/a99SB-disp.ff"
The tip4pd.itp file has also been copied to "/usr/local/gromacs/share/gromacs/top"


However using "-water tip4pd" in "pdb2gmx" will cause error:


Error in user input:
Invalid command-line options
  In command-line option -water
    Invalid value: tip4pd



So how can I properly use the tip4pd in "pdb2gmx"?
