Dear Gmx Users,

I created my own CG force field and i process my structure to pdb2gmx. I
process 3 beads I created to check whether the topology is properly created:

gcq#304: "Gabba Gabba Hey!" (The Ramones)

It stated that there are no angles.
However in my ffbonded.itp which i ncluded in my forcefield.itp

[ angletypes ]

How Gromacs can read this angle?


[angletypes] simply define possible interactions, but are not used unless there are [angles] in the .rtp that use them. pdb2gmx writes angles based on bonds, but if you note above, there are zero bonds, so pdb2gmx cannot write any angles. Does your .rtp entry specify [angles] but no [bonds]?

In terms of bonds I want to use constraints, can I use in my ffbonded.itp [
costrainttypes] or add them automatically after?


You would need [constraints] in your .top file, not [constrainttypes] (same hierarchy as described above with angles). Usually .mdp keywords serve better than topology modifications in the case of constraints, unless you're only constraining a subset of atoms within a single [moleculetype].
