        dear all,

When I display the result from a simulation run (trajectory file) of a
molecule dimer, I can see that one molecule is outside the water
molecules box like an image .

For example I obtain:

first of the simulation: X1 is one molecule , X2 is the other molecule
of the dimer


_________________
| |
| X1 |
| X2 |
|________________|



During the simulation the dimer is :

__________________
| |
|X1 |
| |X2
|_________________|


Do the interaction energies could be the same than:

___________________
| |
|X1 |
|X2 |
|__________________|



using the periodic boundary conditions ????

Thanks


PB
