Hello Reza

I had a similar issue before and the order in which you source files is indeed relevant. In order to get the OPC water parameters it needs to be sourced last to be prioritised. The order of priority was "bottom up”.

Best regards

Since ff19SB loads parm10, it will overwrite parameters for OW from tip3p, but not EP. This leads to abnormal behavior of water molecules which act as if they are positionally restrained. We have tested this with OL3 and OL15 as well. The pictures below show coordinates of two water molecules across a 50-ns trajectory with the aforementioned order of loading forcefields:
