Hi all,
I try to make a simulation in methanol. I use gromos43a1 forcefield.
My command follow,
pdb2gmx -f xxx.pdb
editconf -f conf.gro -bt dodecahedron -d 0.8 -o box.gro
genbox -cp box.gro -cs methanol216.gro -p topol.top -o solvated.gro
When  grompp for minimization it gives an error:
Atomtype CMET not found


I will assume you're not using the current version of Gromacs. This was a bug that was fixed some time ago. Please upgrade to version 4.5.3.

I have used grep to count the methanol molecules and added SOL 660 comment in .top file to tell the number of methanols.

Is SOL the appropriate name given in the [moleculetype] directive for methanol? The name "SOL" is the default name for water in Gromacs, so this may be where you're having problems. Just because methanol is a solvent doesn't mean it should be named SOL. Check the name in the topology to be sure this is what you should be using.

Also I added #include "gromos43a1.ff/methanol.itp" line to .top.

Please don't suggest non-water solvation in how-to part of Gromacs web.

Could you tell me what missing is?

best wishes
mustafa
