Re: AMBER: Box dimensions

Hi Steve,

How do the density and volume of your system behave? It seems to me
that those properties are actually more important than the box size
itself... When the system relaxes to a determined density (in the cte
P simulation) you would expect the box to change size.

Do you see anything special or suspicious in the general behavior of
the system?

Gustavo.
