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.
