[gmx-users] increasing cut-off and PME grid spacing

[Hsin-Lin Chiang]

Hi Justin,

I understand now.
The vector of box changed from 5.8 to 44 after the short MD for equilibrium.
I don't know what happened during equilibrium.
But that is belong to the other question now.
Thank you very much for your reply.

Sincerely yours,
Hsin-LIn
