Hi
I have made a slightly smalle box (35... ) and VdW work correct!
In the PARAMETER FILES i have add the row :
BONDS
!
!V(bond) = Kb(b - b0)**2
!
!Kb: kcal/mole/A**2
!b0: A
!
!atom type Kb          b0
!
O    C     620.000     1.800 !
ANGLES
!
!V(angle) = Ktheta(Theta - Theta0)**2
!
!V(Urey-Bradley) = Kub(S - S0)**2
!
!Ktheta: kcal/mole/rad**2
!Theta0: degrees
!Kub: kcal/mole/A**2 (Urey-Bradley)
!S0: A
!
!atom types     Ktheta    Theta0   Kub     S0
!
O    C    O   80.000    180.000 !
If I set Ktheta to 0 it word bat don't calc correctly the ANGLES energy:

if I set Ktheta to other positive value from 1 at 100 it don't work :
