For vacuum systems, "pbc = no" in conjunction with zero cutoffs is correct

For reasonably large box, this is the same heck.


Setting a box size and using "pbc = xyz" precludes the use of infinite cutoffs, which should be the most rigorously correct way to treat this type of system. With PBC, there are long-range effects that should be avoided.

Nilesh: visualize your system, using VMD or ngmx. The behavior of your
molecular cluster during the first ps will provide an answer. Are you
sure that your topology is healthy?


I agree with this.  The system should be going absolutely haywire :)
