Hi Alexey,Please keep the email list copied on your replies. You'll want to get a file like par_all36_prot.prm, which is available from the charmm force field webpage or included with vmd (plugins/noarch/tcl/readcharmmpar1.3)Best,
Peter

Hi Peter,
thank you very much for your response. I also think the problem is in choosing the prameter file. QwikMD generated my project with charmm36 and MD started and run successfully. NamdEnergy loads par_all27_prot_lipid.inp by default and I have a problem with atom types. Tell me which parameter file is analogous to charm36. I tried different ones like top_all36_prot.rtf but got an error like "unkown line 36 1".

(probably implicit in what I just said, the most important thing is that your parameters match the topology that you used -- and in this case, I'm pretty sure that means use charmm36)

John's recollection is correct -- namdenergy is just a tcl script that writes and subsequently runs a namd config file, and then parses the output. Have you run any successful namd simulations with this system? If so, what parameter file(s) did you use for that run? My suspicion is that you just need to be using charmm36 parameter files (which likely match what you used for your topologies), because that HA atom is type HB in charmm22/27, but HB1 in charmm36.
BTW, if you want to see the script that namdenergy is using, you can set the 'debug' flag and then edit it yourself to play with settings -- but here I'm pretty sure it is a parameter file issue.Best,
Peter

Hi,
My recollection is that the NAMDEnergy plugin works as a wrapper
around NAMD, and it is expecting that the molecule as defined in
VMD was a system that was already prepared for an MD simulation,
and therefore all of the atom types etc are properly set. You would
need to use only such files as input, and you wouldn't be able to
just load a PDB and run it. If you've used QwikMD to prepare a
set of NAMD input files, then you'll want to ensure that you start
by loading only those files into a molecule before you try and
run NAMDEnergy on it. That's about the only advice I have for you.
Best,
John Stone
