Hi Clark,

Take a look to GridMat:

GridMAT-MD is a simple program, written in Perl, designed to analyze two
important parameters in simulations of lipid bilayers - area per lipid
headgroup (APL) and bilayer thickness. The program is particularly useful in
the case of an embedded membrane protein, as the program can calculate the
APL, while still compensating for the lateral area occupied by the protein
at the intersection with the membrane interface.

I hope that helps.

Don´t forget to cite any software ;)
