[gmx-users] adding walls? to EDL simulation?

[Andreas]

hello users,

here is another and better phrasing of my problem. if i have a 3D pbc I 
create some sort of "dipol plate". And using only pbc=xy I can not use 
Ewald methods (PME) or pressure coupling (manual) without using two walls.

I don't understand the wall-atomtype variable? And how to use walls to 
fit my problem?

I just want to realize that the electrostatic force (or better all 
forces) of each graphene layer acts only in one z-direction and still 
use PME (or something for long range electrostatics) and pressure coupling.

I dont know if it is practical/possible to lower the distance for the 
PME, like a cut of distance and to define an empty room bigger then the 
actual experiment.

best regards

Andreas
