Hi,
I has used the periodic boundary conditions and correct em.mdp file. However, the minimized result is water/decane/water, while I set decane/water/decane as the initial system . I cannot understand the reason. Please give me some constructive suggestion! Thanks!

You need to understand that decane/water/decane under periodic boundary conditions has only one interface... the two decane segments are contiguous. Further, there's nothing magical about where you've placed that interface with respect to your initial box, since there are an infinite number of mathematically equivalent alternatives. The physics of the system and the algorithms in GROMACS will feel free to ignore your arbitrary choice. If you want to reconstruct a particular choice after a simulation, you will need to play around with editconf and/or trjconv.
