Hi,
The 'nativecontacts' command by default excludes solvent - you need to
use the 'includesolvent' keyword to include it. If the calcium ion is
not covalently bound you could also try using the 'hbond' command with
the 'solventdonor' and 'solventacceptor' keywords pointing towards
your water, and the 'nointramol' keyword to ignore intramolecular
hydrogen bonds.
Hope this helps,
-Dan
