Hi Justin,

this is the screen ouput of the gmx check

# Atoms  61151

and tex file gives
\section{Methods}
\subsection{Simulation system}
A system of 18620 molecules (61151 atoms) was simulated.


\subsection{Simulation settings}
A total of 100 ns were simulated with a time step of 2 fs.
Neighbor searching was performed every 10 steps.
The PME algorithm was used for electrostatic interactions.
with a cut-off of 1.4 nm.
A reciprocal grid of 64 x 64 x 64 cells was used with 4th order B-spline
interpolation.
A single cut-off of 1.4 was used for Van der Waals interactions.
Temperature coupling was done with the V-rescale algorithm.
Pressure coupling was done with the Parrinello-Rahman algorithm.


grompp is shows it will roughly generate 300MB!
 i was suppressing the .trr file now with trr file it shows around 14GB
