Fastest way to get PSF file for pure QM simulation?

Hi NAMD community,

I am recently trying to set up the QM/MM calculations with NAMD, especially
pure QM modeling of small molecules.

The issue I came across is that if I have the PDB coordinates of a small
molecule, e.g. methanol. Is there a quick way to generate "non-sense" PSF
files required by the QM/MM set-up? (As the MM force will be completely
discarded if we do pure QM simulation.)

If there is a way to do this, what kind of force field parameter file
should I provide? (Or any parameter file can be provided as it will no be
used...?)

Many thanks.

William
