Jawahar,
First, I strongly back Michel's suggestion of enforcing isotropic cell
fluctuations. Actually, that kind of system should almost always be run in a
cubic cell, as a compromise between efficiency and simplicity.
My other question is: how big is your water box?
By the way, did you find the solution to your xsc file problem?
