Hi Justin,

        Well from the previous post:

The number density for water should be about 32.5 waters per cubic nanometer. So if my box size is 4 4 4 =64nm^3, then shouldn't number of water molecules be 64*32.5 = 2080? May be I am not understanding it correctly. I am using Tip3p water model for my simulations.

Thanks.

Hello,

I am trying to use genbox to add water molecules to my system consisting of one molecule of ethane in the box size of 4 4 4nm( 64nm^3). If I understand it correctly, with the system of that size, I should have ~2080 water molecules in my system, but instead genbox adds ~2177 molecules of water, with higher density (1018.63 (g/l)). Is that correct?

Should be, but you haven't said what model water you're using.
Assuming SPC, the box you've specified is 10x the size of spc216.gro,
so I would expect that genbox would add roughly 216 x 10 = 2160
molecules, give or take a few.  How did you come up with 2080 as the
expected value?

Thanks.
