Hi Maik,
      I really did mix up a dummy atom with a virtual site. Any difference?
      Thank you very much for your help.


we changed the name from dummy to virtual site a few years back. We didn't want to be associated with MD for dummies.

Regards,
Qin

    The problem actually is, that you mixed up a dummy atom with a virtual
    site, I guess.

    Virtual sites are not allowed to have a mass, as the error message
    claims. Also, a proper hydrogen should have a mass.

    If you want a hydrogen to appear, you have to place a particle in
    A-state which has no non-bonded interaction, i.e. LJ & QQ interactions
    should be zero. If you want to prevent it from flying away, you should
    put bonded terms to the particle.
    In the B-state, the QQ and LJ should be there (whereas the LJ
    interaction for a hydrogen is 0 anyway).

    21      opls_999        1       LG4     H21     21      0.0000  1.00800
            opls_172        0.4650  1.00800

    opls_999   DUM   0     1.008000     0.000    A     0.000000   0.000000

    So, I expect, this is, how it should look like.
    Be aware of the missing bonded terms in the force field for a DUM
    particle. Maybe, you want to call it H instead...
