[gmx-users] RV: pregunta per la gromacs list

[David L. Bostick]

Hi,

I've never simulated in truncated octahedral geometries before, but could
you try restarting from the configuration without rotating? Shouldn't the
water molecules lying outside the simulation cell boundaries be
automatically wrapped around and relocated in the box?  In princible it's
all bulk water right? ... as long as you give the appropriate dimensions
for the unit cell?

David
