Hi Sairam,
I was worried if there is a gap between TIP4P and TIP5P models, but now I
have not seen such a gap.
Probably TIP5P has already been coded into NAMD somewhere, but I think new
nice application is needed if you have tools available around. It should be
around, if you have access to the tools. The model itself does not rely on
the software we are coding, and very likely you will get very unexpected
results, if you try well.
Best,
Boyang
