This sets up a periodic simulation, although doing it this way is rather rare,
and it's not clear why it gives you 300x300x300.

Setting ntb=0 then causes Amber to ignore the periodic box. This might not be
a very well-tested code path. Ordinarily, you should set ntb=1 if you want a
periodic simulation, and ntb=0 for a non-periodic one; and these settings
should match what you did when you set up the system in LEaP in the first
place.
