  Dear All, I'm trying to compose a tpr file in order to use some gmx 4.5 tools like g_rdf, g_order, g_msd, g_hbond. To do it I composed a top file using psf and dcd files with topotools1.2 in vmd . Then I used the command grompp_d -f min.mdp -c complex.pdb -p complex.top -o complex.tpr and saw this error:    :-) G R O M A C S (-:    GROningen Mixture of Alchemy and Childrens' Stories :-) VERSION 4.5.4 (-: Written by Emile Apol, Rossen Apostolov, Herman J.C.

(Black Crowes) I also used any min.mdp file that is not important for analysis. But I couldn't solve the error in top to compose a tpr file. How can I reach this problem ? Could you please help me about this issue ? However, do I need to generate a .ndx file for each gmx analysis tools ? make_ndx -f complex.tpr -o complex.ndx ( for example ) All related files can be downloaded from the link http://www.speedyshare.com/files/30510532/files.tar.gz Thank you very much for your attention. Kind regards.
