Hi,
I am doing pure membrane simulation in DOPC environment (using Berger
Lipids) in Gromacs 4.0.7  I want to try the grompp tool but have
encountered this problem:

Fatal error:
Atomtype OW  not found

Topology file is as
the following:

What should I do?


You need to introduce OW (and probably HW) as valid atom types within the force field. The lipid.itp file was created to be used in conjunction with a Gromos parameter set (originally Gromos87, but can also be used with Gromos96) that takes care of protein and water atom types.
