[Chimera-users] problem

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Jianan Li,
It is exactly what the error message says: if you choose to save "multiple models in multiple files" you must provide a file name that contains either $name or $number.

You gave a file name "target_ab1.pdb" and this does not contain $name or $number.

Do you really want two files for your two models?  If so, you have to include $name or $number in the file name, for example, file name:

target_ab1$number.pdb

If you don't really want two files (one for ligand and one for receptor), i.e., you probably should combine ligand + receptor into one model before saving.

You can combine models with the Model Panel (open from Favorites menu) function "copy/combine" or the command "combine"

I hope this helps,
