Hi Albert,

Here is one gro file of 128 POPC lipids which I constructed before using CHARMM36 FF. please check if it is correct before using it.

Thank you very much for your kind reply.
The problem is that there are too many atom names for 72 full atom lips and it can make mistakes easily.
If a rename atom A into B, it will mix the old atom B which already there before A renamed into B. However, if the old atom B also need to be renamed into C. Here is the problem , command cannot recognize this atom B is the new generated or the old atom B. Of course, those atom B derive from A should not be renamed into C.....

If there is only dozens of atoms name, it would be ok modify them manually. But if there are thousands, it would be a big problem to do so.
