Dear Mark,<br><br> Thank you for reply, sorry for not being very clear, Here my doubt is can i use triclinic box for the simulations of the crystal whose unit cell is monoclinic. As i said earlier i have tried editconf as <br>
editconf -f input.gro -o out_box1.gro -bt triclinic -box 3.22 2.608 7.792 -angles 90 125.4 90<br>it gave the following warning <br><br>WARNING: Triclinic box is too skewed.<br><br>for clarity here i am sending a part of the output file generated by the editconf<br>

in this case editconf haven't given any warning and the output as follows <br><br> God Rules Over Mankind, Animals, Cosmos and Such<br> 6528<br> 1PEGA C1 1 1.477 0.167 0.675<br> 1PEGA C2 2 1.487 0.085 0.804<br>

Dear Gromacs users,<br>
<br>
I am planing to simulate a polymeric crystal in gromacs, which is of monoclinic unit cell with cell parameters a = 0.805 nm b = 1.304 nm and c = 1.948 nm and beta = 125.4 deg. my crystal is of 424 type i.e 4 unit cells along 'a' direction '2' unit cells along 'b' direction and 4 unit cells along 'c' direction.<br>
So my box vector lengths are a = 3.22 nm, b = 2.608 nm, c = 7.792 nm.<br>
I am using editconf to generate box for this crystal as:<br>
<br>
editconf -f input.gro -o out_box.gro -bt tric -box 3.22 2.608 7.792 -angles 90 125.4 90<br>
<br>
Here i have some doubts:<br>
<br>
1) Am i using the editconf in correct manner for generation of box for the monoclinic crystal, though the crystal is of monoclinic i am using box type as triclinic<br>
i haven't found any specific method for the generation of box for the monoclinic crystal.<br>
2) Is there any specific method to generate the box for the monoclinic crystals.<br>
3) The notations for the lattice parameters of the crystal i.e 'a' , 'b' , 'c' and angles alpha, beta , gamma used by crystallography and the gromacs editconf are the same or different, why because if i use editconf as above i am getting the following warning:<br>
<br>
WARNING: Triclinic box is too skewed.<br>

This means equation 3.3 of the manual is not true. Maybe beta should be acute? I've no idea of necessity or convention here.<br>
<br>
Inspecting the whole output of editconf is probably instructive, but you've kept all that information to yourself instead of re-thinking how your repeat post might be constructed so as to make it easier / more likely for people help you. Likewise the final line of out_box.gro. Make sure you have read and understood what documentation is available with editconf -h and in manual section 3.2.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
