[gmx-users] Erro in SMD simulation..

Thank you Justin for your valuable reply. But you know, my box size is
17.744*17.744*17.744 nm^3. I have used "editconf -bt cubic -f
20-SCH-edit1.pdb -o 20-SCH-edit2.pdb -c -d 1.6" to generate the box.  And
the full description of the box size I have used is
"Read 15484 atoms
No velocities found
    system size :  7.604  8.101 13.546 (nm)
    diameter      : 14.544               (nm)
    center         :  2.405  3.212 -2.870 (nm)
    box vectors  :  0.000  0.000  0.000 (nm)
    box angles   :   0.00   0.00   0.00 (degrees)
    box volume  :   0.00               (nm^3)
    shift             :  6.467  5.661 11.742 (nm)
new center       :  8.872  8.872  8.872 (nm)
new box vectors : 17.744 17.744 17.744 (nm)
new box angles  :  90.00  90.00  90.00 (degrees)
new box volume  :5587.13               (nm^3)"
Please suggest me the better option for my system. Should I increase the d
value? Actually, the whole system contains approximately 193000 atoms and
whenever I am increasing the d value the atoms no. is increasing
significantly. Is there any option which can allow me to increase the box
size without increasing the number of solvent molecules?  And one more more
thing, is the cubic option fine?
Thanks,
Kalyan.
