[gmx-users] Re: adding to liquids in the simulation box: one is in the right side of the box and the other in the left side

[Maria Hamilton]

1.Does any liquid have an individual "vdwradii.dat"?
I found only one "vdwradii.dat" file in GROMACS folder.
2.How can I freeze the first liquid?

Thanks

Regards

Maria
