Justin,

I tried to use an index file with atom numbers of the water molecules in the required volume.

But when I try to ionize the box, I get this error:
Fatal error: The solvent group SOL is not continuous: index[717]=21689, index[718]=21696

This makes sense, but is there a way get around this?


The fundamental requirement of genion is that the solvent is continuous in the coordinate file. If that's not true, genion won't work. If you have continuous solvent, a valid index group within that section should work just fine.


Another option is to write your own script that replaces water molecules with the desired ion type; it should be relatively simple to randomly choose water molecules to replace based on simple coordinate criteria. Updating the topology would have to be done manually, and you'd have to find a way to generate a syntactically correct coordinate file after making replacements, but that is also fairly simple I/O with, for example, Perl.
