Dear Gromacs Users,
There are easy to get membrane with 64 DPPC or 128 DPPC for all atoms 
simulation or coarse grained simulation, but is it possible to get a membrane 
with 512 lipids? If so, where?
We also tried to build a 512 lipids system manually.
First by means of VMD where we combined 4 128 pre-assembled membranes together 
thus creating one single file with 512 lipids, however during energy 
minimization the whole membrane shattered and scattered bits of lipid outside 
the defined box dimensions. Another problem was that after ionization 2 of the 
membranes parts (128+128 lipids) were merged and 1 got deleted.

The second method was by running a self-assembly simulation (270 ns) on gromacs 
using the Martini forcefield, yet we did not get a single membrane but double 
bi-layers with water in between. 

Any suggestion is appreciated.
