[gmx-users] generating conf.gro

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Vitaly,

Do you have a rather fixed ratio between the two? ion:solvent = 1:10
e.g. Then you could make an arrangement of a single ion with
surrounding solvent and replicate that with genconf. You could even do
a short simulation setting rvdw to less than half the size of your
small box :p for a bit of equilibration.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
