Re: Using NBFIX

Hi,
I'm wondering why it didn't work for you.
At that moment, I didn't notice, but maybe it could be important to
leave the NONBONDED part in the parameter file even if you don't use it.

For example, I have NONBONDED part in the paramter file:

NONBONDED nbxmod 5 atom cdiel fshift vatom vdistance vfswitch -
cutnb 14.0 ctofnb 12.0 ctonnb 10.0 eps 1.0 e14fac 1.0 wmin 1.5
!
!V(Lennard-Jones) = Eps,i,j[(Rmin,i,j/ri,j)**12 - 2(Rmin,i,j/ri,j)**6]
!
!epsilon: kcal/mole, Eps,i,j = sqrt(eps,i * eps,j)
!Rmin/2: A, Rmin,i,j = Rmin/2,i + Rmin/2,j
!
! ignore Emin Rmin/2 ignore Emin1,4 Rmin/2,1,4
P 0.0 -0.000 0.00 0.00 -0.000 0.00
N0 0.0 -0.000 0.00 0.00 -0.000 0.00
ND 0.0 -0.000 0.00 0.00 -0.000 0.00

And after that part, I have the NBFIX:
NBFIX
!
!type1 type2 Emin Rmin
! (Kcal/mol) (A)
!

P P -1.19503 5.27557 -0.00 0.00
P N0 -0.62142 5.27557 -0.00 0.00
P ND -0.81262 5.27557 -0.00 0.00

I'm not so sure if this is the problem you have. You may try.
Thanks.
