        Dear all,

        I would like to try a new forcefield in Gromacs 4.5.3. What
        should I do after I copied the ff to /share/gromacs/top
        directory? It seems the original FF.dat doesn't exist in 4.5.3..
        Could you give me some help?


    pdb2gmx detects forcefield directories by searching for names that
    end in .ff, then looking in that directory for a "forcefield.doc"
    file that contains a brief description of the force field.

Thanks. But I cannot find the new forcefield when I used pdb2gmx.. the folder of ff is named 'PACE.ff'

It must also contain a forcefield.itp file to be recognized, and ultimately, to work at all. I did a test of minimum requirements, and only after I added a dummy forcefield.itp file to the test.ff subdirectory did pdb2gmx recognize the new force field.

        Best,

        Qin
