Hi,

I am trying the simulation of a docked complex of my protein . While solvating the box using the following command :-
genbox -cp newbox.gro -cs spc216.gro -p topol.top -o solv.gro


The processing does not stop and continues to run . Here's the output that I got while solvating the box , which is still continuing :-

What have gone wrong for solvation to take this much time on 12 processors CPU.

genbox is not parallelized; you can only use 1 CPU.

You've added 21 million water molecules (yikes!) to the box and genbox is trying to remove over 1 million atoms - I'd say your box is much too large for a solute of 3620 atoms, by several orders of magnitude. You're probably running out of memory to do this operation.
