[gmx-users] carbon nanotube - ifnite in length ?

[Dr. Vitaly Chaban]

I think this is in topology, not in MDP. With PBC, you just specify
what happens to the particle after it crosses the edge of the box in
certain direction.

I have no preference regarding LINCS vs harmonic bonds.

You can also "freeze" only the rim atoms of the nanotube from both
ends and this will be almost the same as infinite tube. This solution
is faster on my taste.
