[AMBER] Problems calculating self diffusion coefficient of water

Hello,

I'm trying to calculate the self coefficient diffusion of water using the
FF TIP3P. I know that to TIP3P the value of the diffusion coefficient of
water is different than the obtained experimentally, 5.19 * 10⁻⁹ m²*s⁻¹
instead of 2.3 * 10⁻⁹ m² * s⁻¹, but when I try to calculated the diffusion
coefficient I get the value 4.21 * 10⁻⁹ m² * s⁻¹. I'm using the formula on
AMBER Manual:

Using n = 3. The MSD value I compute using the out_r.xmgr generated when I
use cpptraj.
My input looks like:

diffusion :WAT.O 0.2 out

I'm using Amber14 so I can't calculate diffusion coefficient directly.

Thank you in advance,

Lucas
