I didn't think g_energy was useful for that - I've always used g_traj -ob to get box dimensions. If noone has a better answer, you should probably just try that and see if you get the same effect.

Subject: [gmx-users] area by lipid
Hi:
I am working on membrane simulation under lipid (DPPC, from Peter
Tieleman group site). I equilibrated dppc membrane for 10 ns and when
i got the area by lipid (x*y/ # lipids) using g_energy, i obtained
that the area is constant (0.64), there isn't any fluctuaction during
10 ns..althougth the volumen isn't constant.
What's wrong in this simulation?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks
Maite
