Thank you both David and Yang Ye,

PRODRG can't handle that polymer (at least the one from the web site   
"The Dundee PRODRG2 Server") because the size is too far from the  
limit (~300 atoms). So I hadn't tried x2top yet for the same reason.
The molecule is a derivative of polyethyleneimine with 4 different  
monomers distributed randomly.
I will try to generate the ".gro" file by editconf, as you said,  
however the topology file continues a black box for me. If someone  
could help me...

Thank you everybody,

all the best,

Marcelo
