Please keep all Gromacs-related correspondence on the gmx-users list. As I said not two days ago (and dozens of times before), I do not advertise myself as an all-knowing private tutor. You are much better served posting questions to the list.

Hello,

I am a student and trying to learn how to use gromacs for my project. I got stuck at one point and don't have anyone to ask around me. Therefore I searched the internet and saw that you also had a similar problem before. Therefore, I will be very happy if you can guide me. Here is my problem:
ı
I am trying to put ions into a carbon nano tube. I have generated the tube, put water in it first and did the energy minimization using grompp. So I have a tpr file. Now I need to use the genion command to replace the water molecules with ions. What is the proper way of doing that? I have tried the following command;

genion -s EM.tpr -o oution.gro -pname NA+

but i get the error

"No ions to add and no potential to calculate."


You haven't told genion what to do. Use the -np flag to specify how many ions you want placed into your system.

I am new to gromacs and not used genion before. What should I do? Do nee to include the ions in a file or specify a potential? If so how?


There are numerous tutorials available online. I suggest you run through a few of them:

You may also find some useful information about CNTs here:
