Re: NAMD and new FF CHARMM36

Hi Gianluca,

I've been using CHARMM36 carbohydrate force fields, some of which are
contained in the stream files. From my experience with using them in
NAMD2.7 as well as 2.9, I've been able to use the .prm and .str files just
fine by calling them both under "parameters" in the NAMD config file.

For the CHARMM water_ions.str file, I remember having some issues (though
it might have been due to the fact that the definitions would've overlapped
with some of the other parameters I specified). Try them by themselves and
see if they work. If not, maybe someone else can help.

Good luck!
