Hi Hannes,
Thanks for the clarification there, that makes a little more sense. There
are 72 LPS molecules in my system, so each atom supplied in the mask should
be present 72 times. The 0 one was a little harder to figure out, but your
comment put me on the right track. It turns out that the atom naming in my
prmtop is different than the atom names present in the original psf/pdb
combo that I used to create the prmtop. Some of the longer atom names
(H112R, H112S, etc) were truncated to 4 characters in the prmtop, which
explains why those masks evaluated to 0. If I supply the psf to cpptraj
instead of the prmtop, it runs without errors. Thank you for your
assistance!
