It would seem that the RTF (topology) files that you loaded do not contain a residue definition for HFA. Did you provide one?

Dear NAMD users,

I prepared a solvation box including a single dendrimer using Packmol. The solvent is fluoroalkane. I have PDB, PSF, Topology and Parameter file for solvent and solute, separately. When I get solvation box (PDB file) using Packmol I get the following error:

psfgen) unknown residue type HFA
psfgen) unknown residue type HFA

psfgen) Info: generating structure...psfgen) unknown residue type HFA
failed!
ERROR: failed on end of segment
MOLECULE DESTROYED BY FATAL ERROR! Use resetpsf to start over.

which HFA is my solvent molecule.
Would you mind telling me how can I create PSF for solvent+solute?
