[gmx-users] Re: Can i construct a solid wall in gromacs?

[rajat desikan]

I once constructed a solid hydrophilic wall by applying large constraints
on an equilibrated slab of spce water. Just construct a simulation box of
the size of the wall needed (don't make it too thin), equilibrate it, use
genrestr in all 3 dimensions to construct a restraints file, and then
genconf to place it in the final simulation box (after matching box sizes,
etc). It worked pretty well for me.
