Hello!

I have read couple of articles and mailing list comments of David Bostick about
the slab geometry correction in Ewald sum or actually in my case in PME. But I
am still wondering if needed empty space in z-dimension perpendicular to the
slab plane is really comparable to x- and y-dimensions (z = 3*(x or y)) and not
directly to real z-dimension of the slab. I mean that if I need large
(x,y-dimensions = 16nm) and thin (z-dimension = 2nm) film for simulations of
liquid droplets on it, do I have to use huge box (48nm) or is quite ok to use
box, which is somewhat elongated (droplet + surface + free space).

Thanks for any help and comments! 

Janne
