I believe the bonds are not defined in the OPLS-AA force field for NaCl. I know this might sound like a stupid question, but is there a way to determine the bond force constant (kb), I tried to look it up, but I couldn't find anything.

Hello,

I want to simulate a simple NaCl ion in water. I know the method using genion which adds individual Na+ and Cl- ion, but I wish to simulate Na-Cl connected rather than free ions floating in water. When I ran the grompp command I got the error:
No default Bond types
So I am thinking, I need to add b0 and Kb values for NaCl? Is that correct?

I would really appreciate some help!

This really is a case where you can try it and see much faster than it
will take you to type the email asking for help :)

Presumably, if you want a bond, and there are not parameters for it
already built in, then yes, you need to actually define the bond.

Thanks.
