Hi wei & amber user,
thanks for your suggestion,
I ignored the warnning & tried to save top & crd file by saveamoebaparam
but it Sleap gets core damped.
I think ,it is problem with .lib file in defining sp2 carbon as
"CA"(with other force fields it is working fine ).Could
you please suggest me how to define sp2 carbon of nanotube in .lib file to
be identified by force field.
thanks
