Re: Problem with running NAMD config file

Ahh! Multiple parameter files all need to be prefixed with "parameters" so the parser doesn't break. Try:

parameters C:/Users/tig_m/Documents/ThesisProjectMDSimulations/PyModModels/CaliforniaSeaLionApoA1/LipidBound/par_all36_prot.prm

parameters C:/Users/tig_m/Documents/ThesisProjectMDSimulations/PyModModels/CaliforniaSeaLionApoA1/LipidBound/par_all36_lipid.prm
#you'll probably also need to add water parameters somewhere?

I've checked online to resolve the issue and found that the .prm extension are for the parameter files so there shouldn't be a problem with providing the correct parameter files. Therefore I'm confused why I'm getting this error message because I got these files from the provided plugin tcl folder.
