[gmx-users] configuration of system for small molecule crystal simulations

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Vik,

Did you make sure the (rotational) orientation of your molecule
corresponded to the triclinic unit cell? And did you visualize the
crystal (using e.g. genconf to extend the system)?

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk
