Hi Nadira,

    no, atom types NOT present while present in the prm file in the
    simulation will not influence it. BUT the NBFIX part that might
    contain atom of yours at the very end will still be applied (which
    might not be what you want).

    *BUT this error *indicates that your structure HAS this DIHEDRAL and
    REQUIRES to have it defined inside a parameter file you pass to NAMD.

    Though it seems you have a
    (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphingolipid__;!!DZ3fjg!vdCetnlO5lhkwRgRUyAats6ukszTSchq4yPSapx7P-jlml2aAV4jeEDEQ0rg88ZT_w$ ) lipid there that cannot
    be describe by "par_all36_lipid.prm" only.

    That's why you need the "toppar_all36_lipid_sphingo.str" .

    Make sure that this the kind of lipid you actually want to simulate.
