Thanks. That works.

[Input file for H2 adsorption isotherm in flexible IRMOF-1.]

Hi David:

For the previous threads, probably I did not explain clearly for the atom-pairs warning during the calculations.
I have run jobs for single component helium and H2 adsorption isotherm simulations in IRMOF-1 with RASPA2.0 code.
With original Dubbeldam2007FlexibleIRMOF-1 force field (from examples in the RASPA2.0 manual) and similar input file shown below, no problem with helium adsorption simulation. But for H2 adsorption simulation, the job is completed with warning of atom-pairs with no VDW interactions.

Run the H2 adsorption again, the situation seems worse than before since the job cannot be completed in addition with warning as attached in the following:

Do you have any comment that something wrong with the step for removal of atom-pairs with no VDW interactions?

Chao

Adsorption of H2, N2 and H2O in IRMOF-1 have been run respectively. The atom-pairs with no VDW interactions appeared in the output file.
With respect to your comment on solving this issue, the VDW interactions of H_h2, N_com, O_com, Hw, and Lw are defined "NONE" as listed in force_field_mixing_rules.def file from force field folder "Dubbeldam2007FlexibleIRMOF-1". The same warning about the atom-pairs still appear.

With the above mentioned modified force field the warning about the atom-pairs with no VDW interactions (such as He-Zn1 He-O1 He-O2 He-C1 He-C2 He-C3 He-H1 Zn1-He ...) pops up during the running of adsorption of helium in IRMOF-1 although no modification happens to He in force_field_mixing_rules.def.

No warning shows for the running of adsorption of helium in IRMOF-1 with "Dubbeldam2007FlexibleIRMOF-1" force field.

Do you have any suggestions about these? Is there anything I am doing wrong?

Hi Dr Dubbeldam:

I am a new user to the RASPA2.0.
I have run the examples from the RASPA2.0 manual and my own tests, warning of atom-pairs with no VDW interactions have been found in the output files.

In manual example "Adsorption of methane in MFI" atom-pairs with no VDW interactions had shown in the last part of output file.
When running my own test "Adsorption of O2 in flexible IRMOF-1" atom-pairs with no VDW interactions such as
Zn1-O_o2 Zn1-O_com O1-O_o2 O1-O_com....... (maximum 50 interactions shown)" were shown in the output file

With respect to the adsorption of methane in the same flexible IRMOF-1, no such warning popped up.

Hi Dr Dubbeldam:

I am a new user to the RASPA2.0.
I am wondering how to turn on the polarization for absorbate and MOF? Is there any specification I need to make in input file or force-field files?
