Re: problem with solvating a structure

Hi Hadi,

That means psfgen is not reading your silica structure properly, sometimes
the correct pdb format is required ( with segnane column).

You will see the lot of error messages for each silica atom. I had similar
issue and putting segname had solved my issue.

Regards,
