Hello Justin,
Thank you and yes. I went to the paper and it shows the steps for
optimization.
However, I have the following problems as I tried to follow the tutorial on
CGenFF page, http://mackerell.umaryland.edu/~kenno/cgenff/download.php#tutor

(1) what are these parameters in water_constr.inp? what values should I use
in my case?
if @stage eq 4 echo ######## USING MP2 GEOMETRY!!! ########
echo QM dipole (Debye)
echo mp2/6-31g*: X=    -3.1938    Y=     1.2595    Z=     0.0011  Tot=
3.4332
echo hf/6-31g*:  X=    -3.4411    Y=     1.3570    Z=     0.0012  Tot=
3.6990

(2) How can I get the correct value for the IC table for surface of
interest? I suppose H2O molecules are placed one at a time to the C and N
atoms of my molecule but where to place the dummy?
generate dum first none last none setup warn noangle nodihedral
join @residue dum renumber
!preparation of IC table for surface of interest
ic edit
dihe 1 N2   1 C1   1 H1   3 dum   0.0
dihe 1 C1   1 H1   3 dum  4 dum   0.0
dihe 4 dum  3 dum  1 H1   2 oh2 180.0
end
ic fill preserve
ic edit
dihe 3 dum  1 H1   2 oh2  2 h1   90.0
dihe 3 dum  1 H1   2 oh2  2 h2  -90.0
bond 1 H1   3 dum  1.
bond 3 dum  4 dum  1.
bond 1 H1   2 oh2  @d !varied
bond 2 oh2  2 h1   0.9572
bond 2 oh2  2 h2   0.9572
angl 1 C1   1 H1   3 dum  90.0
angl 1 H1   3 dum  4 dum  90.0
angl 3 dum  1 H1   2 oh2  90.0
angl 1 H1   2 oh2  2 h1  127.74
angl 1 H1   2 oh2  2 h2  127.74
end

How can I know the bond, angle and dihedral without a GUI show these
parameters?

Thanks for your patient.

Regards,
Rolly
