Hi Thomas,

The lattice vectors you provide are for an orthorhombic box, not a
truncated octahedron. Was your prmtop generated by leap using solvateOct?
What is the value of IFBOX in the prmtop (it should be 2 or 3)? This is in
the POINTERS section, the 3rd last value on line 3 I believe.

Regards,
Brian
