    Some simple calculations using the desired density and the box
    dimensions (to get the volume) will tell you exactly how many
    molecules you need.  If you only "suppose" you've got a reasonable
    number, there are better ways to be sure ;)


In accordance to my calculations I need in ~ 1000 CCl4 to obtain 1.600 g/cm^-3 density with my box dimensins

By the way way I try to define such system by

genbox -ci ccl4.gro -nmol 1000 -box 8.6 6.5 3 -o ccl4_box.gro


I've obtain memory error :(


Is there any other way to define such system with the desired size and 
n_mollecules with the less computation demands?


Two options:

1. Add them incrementally to the box (100 at a time or so, until the desired value is reached)

2. Build a small box of solvent (a few hundred molecules), then use genbox -cs instead of -ci to use the small solvent box to create the one of desired size.
