SEGMENT FILE FOR SPCE WATER


Just Got Here
Hello everyone,

I am trying to run a simple QMMM calculation of a phosphate anion solvated in water. I was following the instructions on http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/QMMM_Appendix#Preparing_QM.2FMM_calculations_from_scrat... to start with but I am getting an error saying

Directories used for fragment and segment files

                                      ./

Parameter files used to resolve force field parameters

                                      ./amber.par

Deleted existing sequence             ./po4.seq

PDB geometry                          po4_prop.pdb


Created sequence                      ./po4.seq

A SEGMENT FILE COULD NOT BE FOUND FOR spce

Can anyone help me as to what I should do? I believe I need a spce.sgm file in my directory but I have no idea how to create one.

Thank you so much in advance!

Best,

Hi Pubudu,

Spce is your model to describe water. You need to specify the parameter you're gonna use for it in your .nwchem file in your /home directory:

spce /$yourPATH$/solvents/spce.rst

$yourPATH$ being the path to the MM parameters in your NWChem version.
