I personally don't think that setbox UNIT vdw is every very useful; the second
form above is probably what you want, but of course you have to do some visual
or other investigation to obtain good values for X Y Z.

Do you somehow have iwrap=1? You probably want to have no reimaging for these
sorts of simulations. (Although, aside from visual appearance, it should
work; nevertheless, I'd recommend avoiding it.)
