Thanks.

Do you know how to use a new force field, not amber or charm, but a force field built by someone else, and it's already in Gromacs format (tons of xvg file, right?)


Force fields are not in .xvg format, unless you're talking about using tabulated potentials. In either case, please see the manual and the help information on gromacs.org, and start a new thread with more information to change topics if you have further questions.

        This is a "reasonable" answer :)

        Thanks for that, and I just tried Gromacs for minimization, and
        looks the final structure does not have clashes anymore, and
        also are very close to the initial structure.

        Another question is if there is a way to add ions automatically,
        meaning no need to check the "NOTE" of "System has non-zero
        total charge" in the output of grompp command? And also update
        the topology file automatically too?


    That depends on the system.  For a simple solute in water, the
    running total charge of the solute is recorded in the qtot column of
    the .top file.  If you have a complex system with lots of charged
    things, no, there is no convenient way to get the charge aside from
    calculating it by hand or reading the grompp output.

    The topology can be modified automatically by genion after ions are
    added by using the -p flag.

               Hi, all,
               I am wondering if Gromacs can do the following work?

               Assuming I have a pdb file of an RNA molecule. Some atoms
        may be
               too close or even overlap, I am wondering if Gromacs can move
               the atoms to reasonable positions and remove the bad
        contacts?
               The final structure is supposed to be the "most" stable
               structure with minimal energy. I know AMBER minimization
        can do
               this work, and I am wondering if Gromacs can do the same?


           Gromacs is perfectly capable of energy minimization.  Whether
        or not
           minimization succeeds and gives a reasonable output is mostly
           dependent upon the feasibility of the starting structure.  If the
           minimization crashes, it's not Gromacs' fault ;)
