fatal error

When I tried to energy minimization my system, I got fatal error as below. Fatal error: Atomtype opls_116 not found Although I've already added this line: ; include water #include "oplsaa.ff/spc.itp" to [molecultype] directive in my topology.

Arena simulation - how do i model the following model in ARENA (see description) (new to ARENA)?

Hello, I'm fairly new to ARENA and I have the following problem: I have two queues in which, in each queue, a different order type arrives (both having an arrival rate of exponential 10). Order...
