Quoting Myunggi Yi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Thank you.

I've already read the part, but I was wondering how can I supply my
reference z positon in the .itp file.

There are no direct way to restrain an atom to stay a a particular
value in one direction (in a plan). However the solution you propose
could actually work. You might need to use small force constants at
the beginning, all the atoms won't be in the plan in the reference
structure and forcing them to move may be a problem.
The posre.itp should contain the list of the atoms with the three
(x,y,z) force constant you want to use. The details are indeed in the
manual.

good luck.


You don't. If you read the link that was provided earlier, or the manual, as
has been suggested, you will find that posre.itp does not contain coordinate
information; it supplies force constant information.  Again, refer here:

-Justin


I can prepare the "restraint.gro" file manually by placing the atoms at z=
1.0 nm.
Then I think I can supply with -r option.

Have a great day.
