Hi Justin,
I made an insert.gro file for 2 water molecules, and when I used genbox I got a fatal error: more than one residue in insert molecules, program terminated.

Right, like I said before, the insert.gro file should contain coordinates for *one* molecule.

I wanted to look at insert.gro, it does not show anything. And when I convert it to pdb I got a warning [file aminoacids.dat, line 1]: Bad box file insert.gro

Well, how did you make this file?  A .gro file has a specific format:

http://manual.gromacs.org/current/online/gro.html

When I looked at the insert.pdb file I found only 1.5 water molecule! Which means 1 water plus a OH. Do you have any idea what should I do or if I am missing some thing? Many Thanks in Advance/Jamie


I have no idea how you created this broken file, so I can't really comment :) The easiest thing to do (I would think) would be to take the first molecule of spc216.gro, keep the header lines, set number of atoms = 3 and preserve the box information at the bottom. I've used that before in a few cases.

               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.

    -Justin

           (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
