[Sergio Manzetti]

One simple question, where does one get the sytem input for genion, as it only want tpr, unless one uses grompp?

I see no point in doing multiple rounds of minimization like this. Just build 
the whole system and minimize.

No. The .tpr file provided to genion is never used again. It has one purpose 
only and it is not an output from genion at all. 

This is all very basic stuff. Please try some tutorials:
