Ah, that's because your topology tells psfgen to apply the patches NTER
and CTER (there's probably an AUTO line in there somewhere), but your
topology file doesn't actually have those patches. Try replacing that
segment command with
segment T {
pdb tmao_namd.pdb
first NONE
last NONE
}
or remove the automatic patching line from your topology.
BTW, please reply to the list so that the discussion is archived.
Best,
Peter
