Re: problem with solvating a structure

Hi Hadi,

please reply to all so other users can benefit from the discussion. I was
actually referring to the lines printed right after you executed the
command. Those seem to be already in the middle of the process.
like one following the lines below: "
psfgen) reading structure from psf file test1.psf
psfgen) reading coordinates from pdb file test1.pdb

Seems like psfgen is not recognizing your structure. How did you build your
structure?

Best

João
