[lammps-users] Water gold hybrid and use of TIP4P

Dear all,

I posted last week regarding my attempt to simulate a hybrid system of
gold and water. I am very grateful for the responses rendered however,
it still doesn't run with the following input script.

The error is that I have used an invalid pair coefficient for the
hybrid style. I have attempted to define separate pair coefficients
for each pair of atoms in my system.

Please find attached the data file so you can try to run it.

Below is the input script:

Read the doc page for pair_style hybrid. All your pair_coeff
commands need to have an extra arg to say which pair style
they are for.
