Dear All:

I am trying to make use of polarizable water models.

I have attempted to employ the Maaren & van der Spoel [2001. JPC 105:2618] model embodied by the sw.itp embedded in share/gromacs/top. I encountered the following issues:

1.  the lines:

; [ defaults ]
; LJ    Geometric

where duplicated from my main *.top file.  Hence I commented these out.

2. The atom types WO, WH, WS and WD were not in oplsaa, so I appended them to the file oplsaa.ff/ffnonbonded.itp.

3. The atom WS (the shell atom) -- but not WD -- requires a mass to which I set to a minimal value in the itp file:

[ atoms ]
;   nr      type  resnr resid  atom  cgnr   charge     mass
1 WO 1 SM OW1 1 1.24588 15.99940
     2           WH       1    SM        HW2        1    0.62134      1.008
     3           WH       1    SM        HW3        1    0.62134      1.008
     4           WD       1    SM        DW        1     0.0          0.000
     5           WS       1    SM        SW        1    -2.48856     0.008

Before I start some MD, did I do anything against good practices here?
