Hi


in my .rtp file I wrote in the [ atoms ] block

C2   CN1A    0.7481   1


but in the atomtypes.atp file I wrote

CN1A    12.01100


So I declared it. So what do you mean with "such an atom type doesn't exist"?


Neither of those actions constitutes what you need. Your atom name is C2, while its type is CN1A. Apparently somewhere in the bonded parameters you've assigned C2 as a type, which is wrong. You need to be using CN1A if adding a new bonded parameter. The CN1A atom type already exists in the force field so you don't need to do anything special.

Note for the future that in order to add a new atom type (if necessary), it needs to have its parameters listed in ffbonded.itp. Mentioning it in the .rtp and .atp files does not do much for you; it simply makes that atom type accessible in the topology, but if it doesn't have parameters assigned, it is useless.
