NAME

       genconf - multiplies a conformation in ’random’ orientations

       VERSION 4.0.1

SYNOPSIS

       genconf  -f  conf.gro  -o  out.gro -trj traj.xtc -[no]h -nice int -nbox
       vector -dist vector -seed int -[no]rot  -[no]shuffle  -[no]sort  -block
       int -nmolat int -maxrot vector -[no]renumber

DESCRIPTION

       genconf  multiplies  a given coordinate file by simply stacking them on
       top of each other, like a small child playing with wooden blocks.   The
       program  makes  a  grid  of   user  defined  proportions  ( -nbox), and
       interspaces the grid point with an extra space  -dist.

       When option  -rot is used  the  program  does  not  check  for  overlap
       between  molecules on grid points. It is recommended to make the box in
       the input file at least as big as  the  coordinates  +  Van  der  Waals
       radius.

       If  the  optional  trajectory  file  is  given,  conformations  are not
       generated, but read from this  file  and  translated  appropriately  to
       build the grid.

       -nice int 0
        Set the nicelevel

       -nbox vector 1 1 1
        Number of boxes

       -dist vector 0 0 0
        Distance between boxes

       -seed int 0
        Random generator seed, if 0 generated from the time

       -[no]rotno

       -[no]shuffleno
        Random shuffling of molecules

       -[no]sortno

       -block int 1
        Divide the box in blocks on this number of cpus

       -nmolat int 3
        Number of atoms per molecule, assumed to start from 0. If you set this
       wrong, it will screw up your system!

KNOWN PROBLEMS

       - The program should allow for random displacement off lattice  points.
