Hi,

I don't have a periodic box. If not for the shell of water atoms, the
simulation is carried out in vacuum. Using the 100 copies I just want to
populate the tunnel. After that I am going to remove the shell of waters
and solvate the system. The minimization, equilibration etc.. were done
WITH the 100 copies. Furthermore, neutralization of the system was done
with the addition of 10 Na+ ions. Below are the input files I have used

Building the LES system

file rprm name=(center_ammonia_xd1.prmtop) read (center_ammonia_xd1.prmtop
and inpcrd are for the system with the solvation shell)
file rcrd name=(center_ammonia_xd1.inpcrd) read
file wprm name=(LES_ammonia.prmtop) wovr
file wcrd name=(LES_ammonia.inpcrd) wovr

 The system has extended beyond
     the extent of the virtual box.
 Restarting sander will recalculate
    a new virtual box with 30 Angstroms
    extra on each side, if there is a
    restart file for this configuration.
 SANDER BOMB in subroutine Routine: map_coords (ew_force.f)
 Atom out of bounds. If a restart has been written,
 restarting should resolve the error

The output looks ok (If not for the error at the end, as I believe) and
when I visualize the frmaes through VMD there seems to be nothing wrong
with the structure.

Thank you
