Re: solute movement in periodic box

Mark,

If you have a periodic simulation the water will:
a) continue moving beyond the imaginary boundaries of the periodic
cell IF you are not using the keyword "wrapall"
b) will wrap around the periodic cell coming in the opposite side if
you have specified to wrap coordinates.

Best,
Chris
