Hi Marcelo,
Thank you for pointing me to the right direction with QwikMD.
I have now located the "Structure Maniputation" button in the "Advanced
Run" label. Then I clicked the "Generate QM Region Topology" button after I
clicked "Add Topo+Param" button, a new dialogue window popped up titled
"Generating Missing QM Region Topology". However, it has no information on
that, but the right text edit widget seems to be editable.
Till this point, I got lost. Do you have any instructions on this part? I
checked the user-guide of QwikMD and QM/MM tutorial, but didn't find
description on this.
Many thanks.
Best regards,
William
