Dear All,
For example, for n-dodecane, I tried
to generate a mol2 file by hand. I
attached the mol2 file to the mail. I arraged the charges for C-H and
C-H-H interactions and then I erased H atoms. All
the charges in the file is zero. Then I tried
to generate a prep file, but I got this message in below. Could you
help me to generate prep file from the mol2 file?
Thanks
in advance
Sincerely

Warning: the assigned bond types may be
wrong, please :
(1) double check the structure (the
connectivity) and/or
(2) adjust atom valence penalty
parameters in APS.DAT, and/or
(3) increase MAXVASTATE in define.h and
recompile bondtype.C
(4) increase PSCUTOFF in define.h and
recompile bondtype.C
Be cautious, use a large value of
PSCUTOFF (>10) will significantly increase the computer time

Antechamber inherently works in an all-atom environment. You can't use
it to generate united atom parameters.
It's not even clear what would qualify as a "ff03ua" force field
for
octane: ff03ua was parameterized for amino acids, and it is not clear
(to me) that there exists a systematic procedure for generating the UA
forcefield for arbitrary molecules.
For octane, you might try this: generate a mol2 file by hand, with the
same carbon paramters used for aliphatic side chains. All the charges
will be zero (more or less required). This should get you something
compatible with ff03ua -- no guarantees at all about comparison to
experiment! You might also see what something like opls/ua has done for
alkanes.
...good luck...dac
