        Dear all,
        I want to know how can I use genbox to fill inside of the pore
        as well as a layer outside. From the "man genbox" page I try to
        use -shell with a negative value (?) but it put waters far from
        the outside of the pore and I think it does not care about the
        sign. It seems strange to me because when I had 10 10 10 in the
        last line of my f.gro, by a shell 0.5 or 0.2, I got a layer of
        few molecule around the pore, but when I change it to 1. 1. 1.,
        the water molecules generated far away. I appreciate if someone
        tell me (1) how I can add water inside the pore and (2) why


    (1) The -vdwd option may help, or even -ci -nmol.  If you have a
    pore, wouldn't water diffuse in over time anyway during
    equilibration (assuming an otherwise correct setup and realistic
    physical model)?

Long time ago I did an experiment on water in confined geometry and I want to see if the results can obtain from the simulation... So for using -nmol -ci (at random position), it says I must use a file like insert.gro would you please explain me how I can make insert.gro?


The "insert.gro" file contains the coordinates of one molecule that you want to insert, i.e. one water molecule.

    (2) If you haven't re-positioned your system within the box, it
    probably doesn't make any sense.  The Gromacs convention is to place
    the corner of the box at the coordinate origin, and everything else
    is relative to that.  Is a 1-nm cubic box large enough to encompass
    your system?  If not, genbox is doing what it's told - filling a
    1-nm box near the origin, and leaving everything else out.



    -Justin

        changing the box size will give a opposite result. Please
        advise..Thanks in advance/Jamie
