I wanted to change the interactions between the Protein and Solvent so I

wanted to use this in combination with forcefield parameters (charmm). I
changed the combination rule in the forcefield.itp file from '2' to '1'
since tables use C6 and C12 values. To test the system I started with
default tables.

When I run grompp, it generates the .tpr file successfully but in the md
simulation using mdrun, settle does not converge. It does not converge for 1
water molecule.

If I go back to the combination rule '2' in the forcefield.itp file, I get a
warning that using combination rule 2 with tables may generate error.

With combination rule '2' and cutoff for both vanderwaals and coulombtype, i
face no problem.

I use combination rule 1; but I also define all tabulated interactions for all possible *pairs* under the [ nonbond_params ] section, so the combination rule actually doesn't matter much.

Does this mean that one cannot use tables with forcefield parameters?

I am not sure of understanding with question -can you clarify?
