Hi Felipe,

Thanks for your reply.
Could you tell me how the NBFIX terms are identified in the NAMD paramter files? My parameter file below does not have any parameters with the NBFIX prefix.

Thank you.

Hey,

The NBFIX terms are used to include an extra energetic component for certain nonbonded interactions (it is often used in coarse grained model for example). The NBFIX terms are included in the parameters file. If your model includes this kind of non-bonded interactions then find out why before removing them

best

Hi,

I am trying to run the CUDA version, but getting this error
"Reason: FATAL ERROR: CUDA-accelerated NAMD does not support NBFIX terms in parameter file."

So I'd like to remove the NBFIX terms, but I'm not sure where my NBFIX terms are...
Below is my parameter file, and it does not appear to contain any NBFIX parameters.

Also, could the NBFIX terms be coming from a file like A.prmptop?

Thank you.
