Dear Gromacs developer: I am asking for your help about fitting a dihedral angle parameters using gromacs md simulation. One article (link: http://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/~andrienk/journal_club/opls.pdf) says that fitting a dihedral angle potential parameters needs three steps: 1) perform ab initio calculation; 2) do md simulation by setting the dihedral angle parameters to zero; 3) fit all the parameters by comparing the md energies and ab initio energies.
I am now working on a dihedral angle fitting and I have done step 1. But I don't know how to do step 2 and 3. For example, if I want to fit a CT-CT-CT-CT dihedral angle for butane, how do I prepare for my *.mdp file, and after md simulation, how to fit the md energies to the ab initio energies? Would you please help me?
