Dear Daniel
Thanks for replies and help. I extremely apologise as the box looks fine and encloses my molecule as expected with the dimensions of my molecule.
I understood it in wrong way. The nx*dx, ny*dy, nz*dz gives the dimension X, Y, Z of box but I was confused and thought that just nx is the X dimension and dx should not affect the box size. I should multiply nx with dx to get the dimension.
Sorry again and thanks.

FYI the upcoming version of cpptraj will have an additional option to
center the grid at a specific location (offset from the origin), which I
think will help in this situation.

No, grid does not currently have an option to do this. However, the
upcoming version of cpptraj will allow you to append to a previously
defined grid data set, so you should eventually be able to do this.
