[gmx-users] gmx solvate problem

[Smith, Micholas D.]

You may want to consider using something a little more powerful than gmx solvate for this, such as packmol (http://www.ime.unicamp.br/~martinez/packmol/home.shtml).

Alternatively, you could construct a layer of water in a separate file and concatenate them together (generate the layer of water in a box with an off-set in coordinates to avoid clashes with where your ice will be).

Hi Golnaz,


Try to increase default VdW radius scaling: option -scale in gmx solvate.

If there are large cavities in ICE you may have problem at water
interface though.


Best regards,

Alexandr
