[CP2K:9720] Re: Warning in connectivity generation

Hi Alex,

You can use the topology section to import the coordinates from an external 
pdb or xyz file, which may be useful especially for large systems. Try to 
insert CONNECTIVITY OFF inside the TOPOLOGY section. You should have no 
issues associated with the generation of the connectivity...

Cheers,
Gabriele
