Hi Justin, 
Thank you for your reply.

Here are the links to the images of:
-the output coordinates
-and last frame of trajectory.

Output coordinates which look wrong:

Last frame from trajectory which looks OK:
http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a443/amanda222lld/last_frame_traj_zpsn2

For the last frame of the trajectory I used trjconv -pbc nojump to make
sure the atoms were not being wrapped around the box.
I am simulating an infinite silica slab, using a 4nm by 4nm unit cell.

Thanks!
Amanda
