[gmx-users] Simulation Box break into 16 domains => Gromacs 3.3.3

[Chih-Ying Lin]

Hi
>From the Gromacs Manual,
http://manual.gromacs.org/current/online/editconf.html
editconf =>
The box can be modified with options -box, -d and -angles. Both -box
and -dwill center the system in the box.

so, without -c option, the protein is already centered in the box.
and, there is no description in the manual that people cannot use -d and
-box simultaneously.

I visualized the .gro file created by the editconf,  the protein is centered
in the box as I can see.

Thank you
Lin

Mark already pointed out that your command line is malformed.  You cannot
use -d
and -box simultaneously.  They are mutually exclusive.  You are also not
centering the protein in the box (you are not using the -c option).  So, in
fact, what you're doing was exactly what my problem was - not centering and
potentially defining the box incorrectly.
I would suggest that you at least try rebuilding your system, because the
above
command is certainly wrong.
