Dear Dr. Case,

My apologies for my non-effective example.

Please see another example below.
I see atom type "ce" in the molecule (1),
and "cf" in the molecule (2).
According to that, their force field parameters differ,
and their equilibrium structure and fluctuation also change.

Do you have any guidelines for getting appropriate force field parameters?
