[gmx-users] insert-molecules results in molecules sticking out of box, could "solvate" face an issue?

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

The more molecules there are in a periodic box, the more likely it is that
all of the equivalent representations of it with whole molecules have at
least one molecule crossing such a boundary. That is, the tool is built for
that normal case of whole molecules not all of which are contained within
the current boundaries. Of course, there will need to be a matching gap on
the far side of the box, which the tool understands.
