Hi Ilyas,

thanks for your detailed reply!

So far I have one remark:

My understanding is that loading of the frcmod file with new parameters
for the CT-CT-C -N torsion will OVERWRITE the existing parameters. So,
after reading the frcmod file, 3 parameters are associated with this
torsion...

This is also the reason why I do not understand that leap asks for the
redifinition of torsion parameters that are already loaded.

Thanks again,
Oliver
