Hi,

In order to run my simulation, I had to insert GDP parameters in ffamber94 (the force field I'm using).
However, I'm having a problem with GDP charge.
the charge of every charge group in top file should be an integer. But I'm getting a decimal charge which gives me naturally a decimal total charge of my molecule.
I checked number of atoms, it's correct, their charge also.
But it seems it's having trouble adding charges & giving an integer charge.
Does anyone have an idea where is the source of the problem?


What is the charge? If it is a small difference between an integer and your charge (i.e., the difference between +1.9999 and +2) then there is no problem. The issue there is the inherent limitation of doing a lot of floating-point operations to sum the total charge. If, however, you have a charge of +1.9256 when you wanted +2, then your parameters are simply wrong.
