Dear David I did just as you and Mark Abraham had suggested. I have made the unit cell using another software and I am already to use PBC. However a doubt appeared. As there are 840 atoms in the unit cell (is a fullerene crystal), how can I generate the top file? Must I make an file top with all these atoms and its parameters (of potential and geometric)? Or there is another way to make it, using for example, only a site of the lattice (in this case a C60 fullerene)? Thank you eef

Hi gmx-users, I need to generate a FCC unit cell (in fact a face centered cubic lattice) in order to produce a nanocristal. I would like to know if is possible to make this using directly GROMACS. In affirmative case, as I can make it?

No, you'll have to provide starting coordinates yourself. However once you have a unitcell you can multiply it using genconf. -- David. ________________________________________________________________________ David van der Spoel, PhD, Assoc.
