Dear users,

quite some weeks ago I asked you for help in creating some organic solvents with the OPLS force field. I read chapter 5 and started to build the molecule structures and also the corresponding itp-files. Since all of the needed atom types were found in the OPLS forcefield, this worked fine.

One question I couldn't figure out was how I get the top-file.
I wanted to convert my solvent molecule with pdb2gmx into a .gro file, add a box und fill it with more of the solvent molecules, to get a pure solvent system. But pdb2gmx doesn't know the molecule (of course, because it's not a residue known to the forcefield). Normally I would add a "#include solvent.itp" - line in the topology file of a system, so that gromacs can deal with the unknown molecule (like I do when solvating a protein with water). But in my case there is no topology-file, so I cannot include an .itp-file

Question: Can someone tell me, how I can connect my molecule to my .itp-file to build up a pure-solvent-system ? How do I continue after building a structure and itp-file?

I couldn't figure it out in the manual and didn't find anything in the mailing list :-/

Thanks a lot,
Sascha
