Hello!
I would like to surround two interacting spherical nanoparticles, each of a layer of silica; can i do this using the function ''CONELLIPS'', if it is possible how can i do that, if not which function can i use.
Thanks for your help!

It is unclear what you mean by "each of a layer of silica".
If you are considering two spheres of silica, that is easily handled by the SPHERES_N target option.
If you want each of the spheres to consist of a core of one material with a coating of silica, then you will have to generate the list of target dipoles and compositions yourself, and read it in using the FROM_FILE target option — see the UserGuide for how to use the FROM_FILE option.
