Re:Re: water genbox 3x3x0.8 EM not successful T not high OK. I will use your 
method. But i am afraid there will be something wrong. Because generally, i 
should run the 3x3x0.8 NPT water, and then i use editconf to add the water to 
3x3x3. If i donot run 3x3x0.8, i may not be able to run the final interface 
box. Because the water in the box is not at proper situation or position. 
Anyway, i will have a try first.

One problem is that how can i make the Energy Minimising successful?

There are some water molecules not in suitable position. 

If i have problem or success, i will give an answer to all. At 2010-12-17
