Hi,gmx users,
I want to set CNT infinite in the system of CNT and water. I'm using GMX 4.1,so I have set pbc=xyz, periodic_molecules=yes in mdp file.

Not possible, Gromacs 4.1 hasn't been released :) If you're using version 4.0.1, you shouldn't, because it has a nasty bug that affects performance very severely.

I set the box size larger than CNT's length a C-C bond(half up and half down). If I don't do a EM, it will crumble. But if I do it,it can't satisfy that the box size is larger then CN't length a C-C bond.

I don't understand this. Are you getting any error messages? Screen and log output are more useful in most cases.

I have searched google and gmx mail list, but still can't solve it .

I found that GMX online document about Carbon Nanotube(http://www.gromacs.org/index.php?title=Documentation/How-tos/Carbon_Nanotube)
say,

Be absolutely sure that the "terminal" carbon atoms are sharing a bond in the topology file.

I don't understand it.How should I do?


Make sure there is a bond in your topology between the appropriate atoms at one "edge" of the box to the appropriate atoms at the other "edge" of the box.
