Hi, Jason,
I am able to use ParmEd to create prmtop file this time from the most
recent CHARMM c36 force filed. But when I run pmemd.cuda, there was SHAKE
problem:
 Number of triangulated 3-point waters found: 0

There are supposed to have 7867 water. I do not know why water cannot be
recognized in the prmtop file.
I came with this solution to define water in the dyn.in
file: watnam='TIP3',OWTNM='OH2', hwtnm1='H1',hwtnm2='H2',
Then I am able to run the simulation.
Is this solution OK?

But I never have this problem using "old CHAMBER" to convert CHARMM
generated psf to prmtop and run in pmemd.cuda. Pmemd.cuda was always able
to recognize water molecules from "old Chamber" generated prmtop file.
Any comment?

Thanks!
