Cross terms or dihedrals? The error is quite clear. You gave NAMD a psf
that had a dihedral (*not* a crossterm) term it did not recognize, and
to prevent you from doing something you didn't intend, it terminated for
you to avoid wasting computer time. Where did that term come from?
Grepping around in the charmm topology files, NR3 only shows up in
proteins, and HCL is an atomtype seen in lipids. Deleting terms
wholesale from a psf is a downright *dangerous* thing to do, as you will
no longer be simulating with a force field that has in any way been
validated. Is there something special about the system that needed a
linkage between proteins and lipids? If not, do you have any idea how
that dihedral term got into your psf?
