Hi Abhijit,
I know that the namd gromacs file reader is not complete; I've run into
cases like this as well, but am not aware of anyone taking it upon
themselves to improve it further (it would need to be someone who knows
the gromacs file formats well). I have done runs in gromacs and namd
using equivalent parameters (albeit reformatted) and gotten equivalent
results in the past.
Can I ask, why do you feel the need to confirm the results you got from
gromacs in namd?
