I want to make a cylindrical shape configuration for my study using PACKMOL, can anybody suggest what would be the input file change in it if we use sphere for spherical shape. i tried replacing cylinder instead of sphere but it's not working..
Hi, I might be wrong here since I don't use packmol, but when I made a cylindrical shape a few months before I first created a circular shape (all molecules were on the same plane - same z - axis value) and then I copied it in parallel planes (changed the z - value).
So since packmol can create a spherical shape there must be an option to pause the iteration and get a circular one.
From there it is a very simple script regardless the programming language.
Or if you want to avoid messing with any code create the spherical shape and then remove the unwanted molecules with the help of a simple text editor and VMD.
Really hope this helps.
