Re: setting solvent density during solvation

Dear Adam,
I think that the solvation box was built with a rather low density to
avoid getting high VdW forces when building the system. You are expected
to run a few equilibration steps using NPT until you get to the desired
density. Then you can switch to the ensemble you want to use.
Hope this helps
Cesar
