[gmx-users] gmx insert-molecules - molecules "sticking out of the box"

[Magnus Lundborg]

Hi,

Assuming that you are using a periodic box it shouldn't matter that the
molecules are placed crossing the edges - that just means the rest will be
on the opposing side of the box when you simulate. If you wish to visualize
the system you could experiment with the -pbc options of the trjconv tool.

Cheers,

Magnus
