AW: problem in running targeted MD

Hi,

 

 

I’m quite sure that NAMD gave you more information why it stopped than just:

 

Charm++ fatal error:
FATAL ERROR: ERROR(S) IN THE CONFIGURATION FILE

 

Please check the output more carefully, as I already wonder that you use both “extendedsystem” and “cellbasisvector[1-3]”, NAMD will do so too.

Betreff: namd-l: problem in running targeted MD

 

Dear all,

I am running targeted MD simulations using NAMD.

Do to so, I have created a reference PDB file (the target) containing the exact atoms (including type, name, serial number, etc. ..) of the structure that I want to target. Importantly, this PDB file does not contain water molecules, but only the protein atoms. Moreover, in the reference PDB, the occupancy (not the beta factor) of all heavy atoms has been set to a non zero value (i.e., 200).

After having equilibrated the system, I have created the TMD input file, in which I specify the essential parameters.

The input contemplates langevin dynamics, as suggested in the manual.

However, the simualtion crashes with the following error:

Charm++ fatal error:
FATAL ERROR: ERROR(S) IN THE CONFIGURATION FILE

Based on the attached input file, could you please help me in understanding what is the fatal error that leads my simulation crashing?

 

Thank you very much

Giulia
