[gmx-users] GMX to remove clashes?

This is a "reasonable" answer :)

Thanks for that, and I just tried Gromacs for minimization, and looks the
final structure does not have clashes anymore, and also are very close to
the initial structure.

Another question is if there is a way to add ions automatically, meaning no
need to check the "NOTE" of "System has non-zero total charge" in the
output of grompp command? And also update the topology file automatically
too?
