If you used tleap to solvate (i.e. solvateBox or solvateOct), it expects
a single globular solute; I expect this is not what you want. You
/might/ be able to trick it into building a box above and below by
fiddling with buffer parameters, but that might not give a good
structure in the end.
I am not at all familiar with packmol, so I can't really help there.
CharmmGUI handles both lipids around proteins and building water boxes
with ions (it uses an elaborate PB MC method). ParmEd would just handle
the conversion of those files from the native CHARMM format back to
AMBER format.

I didn't use parmEd, I just import the pdb file resulted in packmol to tleap.

I tried the add command but it did not work. I don’t knowwhether for the purpose of adding lipid to the water-protein system the pdbfile of the lipid is necessary or not. Can you please help me?
