HI Axel, Olaf,
Thanks for your suggestions-I managed to get around the problem as my
trajectory was created in gromacs so I used gromacs to make the box a
2x2x2 unit cell. In case anyone else has the same problem:
I made the structure file bigger using:
genconf -nbox 2 2 2 -f confout.gro -o confbig.out
2. Convert traj.xtc to single frames:
trjconv -s md.tpr -sep -nzero 0 -f traj.xtc -o fr.gro
Use genconf on each of these frames as above (I wrote a script to do
this for all frames)
3. Stick the new, bigger frames into a trajectory using trjcat
I had to split the trajectory into single frames as I don't have a
cubic box. I think you could use the -box option with trjconv if you
had a cubic box,
I'd still be interested to hear of any VMD solutions to this problem
but its not urgent from my point of view,
Thanks again
Jenny
