Dear Gmx Users,
I am setting up the simulation of a protein attached to the half of a nanotube. I set up my system and formed my box and solvated it in TIP3P water. Water molecules obviously were also placed below the part of a nanotube where I do not want them to be. Is there any command which will solvate my system below the surface of the nanotube? Or maybe is there any command or a software that will allow me to remove those unwanted water molecules? I have aroun 26000 water molecules in my system and around 5000 below my nanoutube so with editor it could take ages. Any suggestions?

You can use g_select to use geometric criteria, i.e. coordinate value > some number such that only water molecules above a certain point are kept. Then use trjconv with the index file g_select gives you and you have your cleaned up system.
