I have built a small system in VMD. Where do i find this replicatemol command?

build a small system with whatever tool you like or pick a properly
pre-equilibrated system, make sure you have the proper system
dimensions and replicate it as many times as you like. in VMD this can
for example be done with the Topotools::replicatemol command.
