Hi gmx-users,

I have trying build topologies for PVC polymer in opls/aa forcefield. I read the chapter 5 and modified the files ffoplsaa.rtp, ffoplsaa.hdb, ffoplsaa-n.tdb, ffoplsaa-c.tdb, but not successful. Below, you can see the blocks that built. The parameters for the residue may seem confusing, but I am trying to understand how to build these blocks and then create new parameters for the residue.

rtp file:

[ VIN ]
 [ atoms ]
    C1    opls_136    -0.120    1
   H11   opls_140     0.060    1
   H12   opls_140     0.060    1
    C2    opls_001     0.500    2
    Cl     opls_151    -0.200    2
   H21   opls_153     0.103    2
 [ bonds ]
   C1      H11
   C1      H12
   C1       C2
   C2       Cl
   C2      H21
   C2      +C1

hdb file

VIN     2
            2       6       H1       C1      C2     +C1
            1       6       H2       C2      C1     -C2

-c.tdb file:

[ VIN ]
 [ replace ]
    C1      opls_135        12.011  -0.18
 [ add ]
    3        4      H1      C1      C2
            opls_140       1.008   0.06
[ delete ]
   H21

-n.tdb file:

[ VIN ]
[ replace ]
C               opls_152        12.011 -0.006
[ add ]
2      4        H       C2      C1
       opls_153        1.00800  0..103

By using the pdb2gmx following error occurs:

Program pdb2gmx_mpi, VERSION 3.3.2

Fatal error:
Error in hdb file ffoplsaa-n.tdb:
Wrong number of control atoms (2 iso 3) on line:
2      4        H       C2      C1

Why this error occur?


You need three control atoms; you only have two (2 iso 3 means "2 instead of 3"). Refer to the manual for the proper syntax for these entries.

It refers to building a polyethylene polymer topology, but I think some of the information should be generally applicable.

Also, don't bother with -n.tdb and -c.tdb files. If pdb2gmx does not detect protein, I think these files are ignored. At least, it seems that way based on others' difficulties.

Excuse me my English, I am a beginner in the language.

Thank you very much
