Dear all
I am using Gromacs 4.5.3 to simulate a system including: CNT+water+surfactant and I want to
use opls force field for my whole system.
so far I have done following things:
1.I copied oplsaa.ff folder in my working directory.
2.I added following lines to atomname2type.n2t
C opls_995 0 12.011 1 C 0.142 C opls_996 0 12.011 2 C 0.142 C 0.142 C opls_997 0 12.011 3 C 0.142 C 0.142 C 0.142
C    opls_998    0      12.011  4    C  0.142  C 0.142  C 0.142 C 0.142
3.I added these to ffbonded.itp
[ bondtypes ]
 C   C  1   0.14210   478900

 [ angletypes ]
 C   C   C   1  120.000  397.480

[ dihedraltypes ]
 C   C   1   0.000 167.360  1
4.I added these to ffnonbonded.itp
opls_995 C 6 12.01100 0.000 A 3.851000e-01 4.39600e-01 opls_996 C 6 12.01100 0.000 A 3.851000e-01 4.39600e-01 opls_997 C 6 12.01100 0.000 A 3.851000e-01 4.39600e-01 opls_998 C 6 12.01100 0.000 A 3.851000e-01 4.39600e-01
5.I used g_x2top to create topology for CNT.
Command line was:
g_x2top -f cnt.pdb -o cnt.top -r cnt.rtp -name CNT -nexcl 5

6.I used TopolGen to produce the *.itp file for surfactant molecule.
7.I placed surfactant molecules around CNT.
8.I used editconf using this command:
editconf -f cnt_sur.pdb -o cnt_sur.gro -c -d 1 -bt cubic
9. I wrote a  a .top file given below,
 Include forcefield parameters
#include "./oplsaa.ff/forcefield.itp"
; Include topology for DTAB
#include "DTAB.itp"
; Include topology for CNT
#include "cnt.itp"
;
[ molecules ]
; molecule name          nr.
DTAB                      14
CNT                       1

10.I called genbox with the command:
genbox -cp cnt_sur.gro -cs spc216.gro -p topol.top -o solv.gro
11.I added manually  these to topol.top
; Include SPC water topology
#include "oplsaa.ff/spc.itp"

12. once I run grompp : grompp -f em.mdp -c solv.gro -p topol.top -o ions.tpr
I got following errors:
Ignoring obsolete mdp entry 'title'

WARNING 1 [file ffbonded.itp, line 2704]:

So here grompp finds that you're overriding default force field parameters by using some customized bond types. This may or may not be what you want/need, so check carefully. If these are indeed what you are after, then there is no problem here.

Generated 335790 of the 335790 non-bonded parameter combinations

ERROR 1 [file DTAB.itp, line 104]:
  No default Bond types


To solve this error and the subsequent ones, check your topology at the quoted line, identify which atom types the interaction pertains to, and determine which parameters need to be added to ffbonded.itp. The "no default types" error comes from the situation in which grompp cannot assign any parameters to the listed interaction.

NOTE 1 [file topol.top, line 27]:
  System has non-zero total charge: 5.039999e+00

The fractional net charge here indicates that at least one of the topologies (.itp) is broken such that you get a nonsensical sum of charges. It needs to be an integer.
