VNL with GROMACS

[Raj]

I am using GROMACS to run molecular dynamics simulations. In one of my simulations, I need to create a tethered FCC lattice surface. I am trying to use VNL to create the surface. But I am unable to import the .cif file into GROMACS. How can I do that? GROMACS supports .pdb files which is similar to the .cif file format.

If you provide the .cif file, we can check if something should be wrong with it, but otherwise, it is really a question for GROMACS support. The .cif format  is a widely used file-format.

PDB is not really similar to CIF...
