<br>> gmx2gromos is not part of the cp2k distribution. Have no idea how those

<br>
<br>gmx2gromos was started by me when i was still in bochum
<br>with the intent to use gromacs tools to build OPLS/AA
<br>topologies for qm/mm and then run them with CPMD, which
<br>requires gromos format topology files.
<br>
<br>> if you already have them you should not need any additional file or

<br>> If you don't have them please refer to the GROMOS website..
<br>
<br>please note that the format in cp2k (and cpmd) corresponds to
<br>the gromos 96 file format. a minimal and reverse engineered
<br>description is also in the qm/mm section of the cpmd manual.
<br>perhaps somebody near you has an old gromos documentation
<br>collecting dust on a shelf.
<br>
<br>> or to the GROMACS website (maybe there you will find also information
<br>> how to convert the two formats one in the other).
<br>
<br>nope. since the gromacs tpr file is binary, you need to use
<br>gromacs library functions to access to contents and convert them
<br>to gromos. reading the gromos documentation is the better way.
<br>that being said, you don't need to write gromos format topologies
<br>to use the gromos force field. you just need the parameters and a
<br>topology file in a format that is readable by cp2k.
<br>
<br>cheers,
<br> axel.
