I made a mistake in the numbers, but the question remains:

I ran the following command in gromacs:
editconf -bt dodecahedron -f p61_vac_gro.gro -o p61_vac_dod.gro -d 0.8

The equivalent command in amber:
solvateoct p61_vac.pdb TIP3PBOX 8.0

is there any reorientation in volved?
As far as I understand this, both command created a box were the edges are 0.8 nm away from the solute. But the resulting image distance (d in the manual)

amber or gromacs manual?

in gromacs is:
121.3092
and in amber:
110.5103716

Are the d the same in both programs?
The definitions of dodecahedron are different in gromacs and gromos.
could be a similar problem in with amber!
Note however that the gromacs definition decreased the volume as
compared to gromos.

This is makes a hugde difference in the number of water atoms to add.
Does anyone has an explanation for this paradox?


kind regards,
