Hi,
Thanks for your interest.
Yes I followed the instructions from the tutorial. I think there's a version problem of the fcrmod or something, because we use the ambertools from amber 9/10. Here's what I did for a test:
1. tleap
2. loadamberparams frcmod.tip4p
3. set default flexiblewater on
4. WAT = TP4
5. a=loadpdb <- only a WAT box
6. saveamberparm a test.top test.crd <- lot of warning on short bonds of EPW and about duplicate angle
7. build namd script with watermodel tip4
8. mimimize & run
The simulation then seems to run as expected, but it doesn't. If one look the trajectory one see long chains of EPW->H with 1A distance and funny conformations of 3 waters that lay in each other.
I had very much trouble getting a TIP4P simulation to work. When I startet, I got problems with namd throwing segfaults. I solved that with taking the frcmod.tip4p file from the solvents folder. The default is another location what didn't work for me. The missing Angle for H-O-H is solved by setting flexiblewater. SO it seems the input should work but it doesn't.
Maybe namd is compatible only with a specific type of tip4p. I read something about tip4p 2005.
What do you think.
