Thank you Justin,

In this case, I will need to apply a full equilibrium process (em, nvt, npt) to the new system, is that right? 

I am trying to avoid the long step of equilibrium as I have many systems corresponding to different concentrations. I was thinking if I replace a small number of molecule A with molecule B (the system A is very large and pre-equilibriumed) then I only need to apply a short time-step of NPT in order to let the system expand or shrink. Then I can use the new system to continue replacing A with B to generate a new concentration. Is this practical? 

The problem is when B is slightly larger than A, I can’t insert the same number of B into the system. Is there way to avoid the overlapping or force the molecule in?

Thanks,
Shi
