Amanda,

X2TOP is a somewhat enigmatic tool. You are never sure when it why it
works or refuses to generate a topology...

Try to start with PDB file instead of GRO. Try to use -"pbc" keyword.
Try to add new lines to N2T database corresponding to all atoms of
your molecule.


The -pbc option is broken in the 4.0.x series and will cause the program to hang in every case I've seen it invoked. You must use -nopbc to get the program to complete.

Good luck,

I have tried to convert this file to a top file but this is the error message I
get:

I have tried to adjust the coordinates within the gro file but it still shows
the same message. Someone please give me some proper instruction in the
conversion of a .gro file to a .top file. Thank you!

Sincerely,
