Topology File Commands

 

These commands control the reading and writing of topology files. Cpptraj supports the following topology file
formats:

Format Keyword Extension Notes
Amber Topology amber .parm7 Only fully-supported format for write
PDB pdb .pdb Read Only
Mol2 mol2 .mol2 Read Only
CIF cif .cif Read Only
Charmm PSF psf .psf Limited Write
Gromacs Topology gromacs .top Read Only
SDF sdf .sdf Read Only
Tinker ARC arc .arc Read Only

For most commands that require a topology one can be specified via two keywords:
parm [<name>] Select topology corresponding to given file name, tag, or name.
parmindex [<#>] Select topology by order in which it was loaded, starting from 0.

The following topology related commands are available:
