          You're doing something terribly wrong. But why you want to do
          what you<br>
          attempt eludes me. Maybe it helps if you give an explanation

              &gt; Dear Dr.Tsjerk<br>
              &gt;<br>
              &gt; Before doing md for generating NPT, I did an EM,the
              result was:<br>
              &gt; poteintial energy:-2.2611160*10^(6)<br>
              &gt; Max F=4.8960352*10^(4) on atom 5289<br>
              &gt; Besides I had done EM before on the same system,I
              just add solvent by genbox<br>
              &gt; and Ions by genion.<br>
              &gt; the above result is for Energy minimization after
              adding ions by genion.<br>

              &gt;&gt; Hi Mohsen,<br>
              &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; I think rotating a molecule with editconf will
              not rotate the box. Then<br>
              &gt;&gt; again, if it did, it would result in a box
              violating Gromacs requirements.<br>
              &gt;&gt; Either way, it's not going to work like that.
              Build a new box after<br>
              &gt;&gt; rotation... And have a good look at what you're
              actually trying now by<br>
              &gt;&gt; taking the rotated system and stack it a few
              times using genconf -nbox 2 2 2<br>
