Dear All,
I am a bit confused regarding  Vacuum. I wanted to do EM in Vacuum. I
think I can proceed either of the below...

1) I create a box (editconf) and place a molecule with out solvent.
2) Never create a box, then proceed other steps as usual like EM etc.

Can we call 2nd option also a vacuum and what is more appropriate?


A simulation in vacuo requires that you don't put a solvent in.
A simulation with PBC requires that you choose the appropriate pbc 
option in your .mdp file, and also choose a sensible box size, e.g. with 
editconf.


These two are independent choices.

you should make sure your mdp file specifies no pbc:
pbc = none
