Oscar,
Can you provide a copy of the input file?
When equilibrating, do you use the WrapAll function for PBC?
wrapAll wrap all coordinates around periodic boundaries?
Acceptable Values: on or off
Default Value: off
Description: Coordinates are normally output relative to the way they were read in. Hence, if part of a molecule crosses a periodic boundary it is not translated to the other side of the cell on output. This option alters this behavior for all contiguous clusters of bonded atoms.
Best,
Saleh Al-Khalifa
