Hi, all, I finally wrote a decane topology file. I used it to some simple simulation.
The energy minimization works, while after a simple nvt equilibration, the shape of the molecules changed. Please find the images before and after the nvt equilibration from the following links. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qcfgipchnus3vcb/before_nvt.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/nvbxbs6tofdc0ol/after_nvt.png The following is the topology part for the decane molecule. Please help to check if there is anything wrong. C2 and C3 are CH2 and CH3 respectively.
