Thank Justin ! And i used GridMAT-MD as you advised. I got result "The average bilayer "thickness" will be printed to 50x50_average_pbc.dat". But that result is only equal to a half of experiment result. I think "bilayer thickness" is equal to the sum of "top leaflet thickness" and "bottom leaflet thickness". So should i double "The average bilayer "thickness"..." mentioned above ?
And i do not get average area per lipd, just "The average area per lipid in the top leaflet is 64.2329395973154 sq. Angstroms. The average area per lipid in the bottom leaflet is 63.3821721854305 sq. Angstroms". Thanks in advance ! KT On Mon, Jan 21, 2013 at 11:03 PM, Justin Lemkul <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 1/21/13 10:17 AM, Kieu Thu Nguyen wrote: > >> Thank Justin ! That is APL.
