Yes, the unit cell should be read from each frame of the dcd file if the
simulation was originally run with periodic boundary conditions. You should
be able to confirm this both from the presence of a message ("Updating unit
cell from timestep.") that will print after each call to `coorfile read`,
and from the fact that the VOLUME field of the output should fluctuate
accordingly.
Best,
Peter
