Leap doesn't really know much about periodic boundary conditions. It can
"solvate" a system using a rectangular unit cell, or a truncated octahedron.
These two options are hard-wired: I don't think(?) that it has any general
notion of periodicity. Also, it doesn't know how to find minimum images, or
anything else related to the enegies of periodic systems.

I could be wrong...there is hidden stuff inside LEaP known to only a few
people :-)

I recognize that this may not help much....dac
