Hi Francesco,
did you directly copy/paste that error message? There shouldn't be any
beads named nxx or nxg, only Nxx and Nxg.

Also, you should always use "exclude 1-2" in rbcg simulations. There's
no such thing as scaled1-2, and the force field was not designed for use
with 1-4 exclusions.
Best,
Peter
