[gmx-users] kill some atoms

[Vitaly Chaban]

Omer,

The situation is as follows. I simulate some pore (located at the
center of the box) and solvent is both inside and outside the pore. To
get a "right" density of solvent inside I make a system and let it
relax itself. Then I want to stop migrating solvent inside and
outside (inside an outside is intact!), so the easiest way is to reduce
one side of the box to be equal to the length of my pore (and re-center
the pore of course).

genbox and editconf can change the box parameters but they don't want
to kill the solvent which appears to be already not in the box after the
manipulations.

It seems that high pressure simulation reduces all side lengths (but I
need to reduce only the selected one). Am I wrong?
