Maybe this example will help. This is a TCL script to build a PSF for a
solvated lipid bilayer using the MARTINI force field. Notice the water
has been split into two segments. In the PDB, the segname field is
"WAT1" and "WAT2".
psfgen <<ENDMOL
topology top_martini.inp
segment POPA {
auto angles
pdb popc_b1.pdb
first none
last none
}
segment POPB {
auto angles
pdb popc_b2.pdb
first none
last none
}
segment WAT1 {
auto none
pdb water_b1.pdb
first none
last none
}
segment WAT2 {

topology top_martini.inp
segment POPA {
