gromacs is designed primarily for non-crystalline simulations,

Well, I wouldn't go that far. Gromacs is designed to work with
triclinic systems.

Well, yes, but cutting a triclinic portion out of a triclinic crystal is not an operation you'd expect a simulation package to be able to do, unless it was designed primarily for crystalline simulations. It's an operation from a quite different domain from standard gromacs operations.

Maybe you want to look into CCP4 programs, they can handle all kinds of symmetry operations etc.
