You need to visually look at your simulation and try to figure out what it
happening that makes it move so far from the starting structure. It could
be the high temperature, it could be the model or the contraints, etc. There
is no generic solution. But when the system extends beyond the virtual box,
in almost all cases this means that something very bad is happening. You
need to look for the cause, not just fix the symptom.

....good luck..dac
