cpptraj can strip atoms from the system very simply, but it has no
functionality to add new atoms that I'm aware of. As I said in my last
email, I know of no tools that can automate what you are trying to do.
PropPDB can propagate a PDB file, but not an entire trajectory (or any
other type of file). You may be able to coerce it into duplicating the
system the way you want (but you may want to determine which periodic image
is the 'closest' in terms of the one propagated in the x, y, or z
direction), but you will need to work exclusively with PDB files in that
case.
You will still need to create a topology file to match the propagated
system if you want to compute any energies, though. You will likely have
to experiment with different tools and different protocols to design an
effective workflow, and you will probably have to write some scripts and/or
programs to supplement the functionality that is not available elsewhere.
HTH,
Jason
