Thanks Carlos!

At first your tip didn't work but it made me understand the problem. First,
yes, there's this H1 x HC inconsistency.

But to get the script to work I had to add *source leaprc.protein.ff14SB*!
(verbosity 1 gave me the hint together your question why I used GAFF)

So, no this tleap.in works:

verbosity 1
source leaprc.protein.ff14SB
loadamberparams frcmod.meoh
loadamberprep meoh.in
loadOff meohbox.off
solvateBox MOH MOH 11
savepdb MOH moh.pdb
saveamberparm MOH moh.prm moh.crd
quit

But I will have different results if changing HC to H1 in frcmod.meoh.

HC mass is 1.00800 while H1 is 1.0 and so vdw diffs as well.

Bottomline, I believe frcmod.meoh needs to be updated. I'm wondering about
those who had done simulation with methanol solvent... likely this atomtype
diff wouldn't have much difference anyway.

Best,

Alan
