    Sure, I think you want a freeze group of all the nanotube carbons,

    Groups aren't defined in the coordinate file. If you use a GROMACS
    utility that can accept an index file as input, and do not provide
    one, then GROMACS generates some standard ones from the coordinate
    file. In the case of make_ndx, these are then written out when you
    quit.<br>
