Hello GROMACS Users, I was wondering if anyone who has experience with simulations using polarization would be willing to take a look at what I’ve tried that so far hasn’t worked and give some tips and perhaps share their topology files and run settings. I am attempting to model a 3-atom molecule with polarizability of the partial charge on each atom. The only examples I have found so far through the other posts have been for Justin Lemkul’s DrudeFF branch, but I was hoping to just use the regular release if that is possible.
I have included my .itp files for things I have tried that have not worked- Version 1, no explicitly defined shell particles – made with the assumption that Gromacs would handle generating the shell particles for me given the host and a polarizability.
