Thanks :)
but I couldn't manage with that, it makes the same error with editconf as well, the problem was related to having more than one residue inside insert.gro

editconf should not have a problem placing multi-residue molecules within a box. That is its main function, so I can only assume you did something wrong.

I did it at the end with genconf

genconf  -nbox 2 2 2 (as u want)  -f  file.gro  -o file_replicate.pdb

it will simply replicate the unit.


That works.  Glad you found a solution.
