Dear Jason,

Yes, I have now been able to test this, and the problem is resolved!
(i.e. with parmed installed from https://github.com/ParmEd/ParmEd, the FAD
geometry minimised using the chamber-action prmtop is now as expected, not
distorted).

Thank you very much for sorting this out.

Best wishes,
Marc
