[gmx-users] Box size

[Dallas Warren]

Bit unclear from your description, but do you have two sheets which
are meant to meet up with each other in the x-y plane, so you get two
infinite sheets?  And currently they don't exactly meet up?  If so,
then you need to rotate them (using gmx editconf) so that they are
perfectly aligned.  Then you can use VMD with the periodic image
display option, and adjust the box size around it, so that that atoms
at one edge matches up with the correct distance through the PBC to
the other edge.  Then the z direction probably will need to be at
least 6nm, since they are already 3nm apart, then through the PBC you
would probably want them at least that distance apart.
Catch ya,
