Hi Marcelo<BR>
your initial box is right, (4.72 nm)^3 = 105.15404e-27 m^3<BR>
500 hexane molecules = 500/(6.02e23)*86.16e-3 kg<BR>
the density of your initial system = 680.200377454 kg m^-3<BR>
<BR>
The pdb file you sent contained two different structures (I just realized about this) the first one is in a box of the right dimensions but the second one, I guess the final frame, is in a much larger box (8.1315 nm each edge). Your SA at 1000 K and at constant pressure expands the system a lot and you are not simulating long enough at 298 K to go back to the right density, that's all.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>

Hi Angél,<BR>
<BR>
Packmol doesn't add the box dimensions in the pdb, but I've created a cube with side 4.72 nm in the input file.<BR>
