[gmx-users] Duplicate lipid bilayer, simulate protein and remove extra lipid bilayer

[Du, Yu]

Dear GMX Users, 


My question is 512-lipid bilayer is too big. How can I resize it and the cooresponding box size?


I duplicated the 128-lipid bilayer using 
$gmx_mpi genconf -f lipid128.gro -o lipid_new.gro -nbox 2 2 1


But the new 512-lipid bilayer is so large, I want to remove the some lipids according to the x and y coordinate.


I know the parameter -nbox uses integers. But is there any easy way to fulfill the function like `gmx_mpi genconf -f lipid128.gro -o lipid_new.gro -nbox 1.5 1.5 1`?
