Hi all

As Justin said to fill a box with 80000 molecules I should construct
small boxes containing for example some hundred molecules with 'genconf'
and then build a big box including 80000 molecules. Now I want to know
how can I use 'genconf' and then genbox, instead of the following
command (Only genbox)?

genbox -ci H.gro -nmol 80000 -box 300 300 300 -p topol.top -o H-box.gro

try a smaller box and then you can scale it using editconf if needed.

Rather than scaling with editconf (which can distort coordinates, in my experience), one can also use genconf -nbox to replicate the smaller system, i.e.:

genconf -f small_box.gro -nbox 5 5 5 -o large_box.gro

which creates a system 125 times larger than the original.  Adjust as needed.

Would you please help me?

Thanks
