Hi Matthias,

thanks for the reply. 
I was using the script from the workshop to get the box size. You are not 
aware of any bugs in that script which could lead to a wrong box size for 
rathe large but flat molecules?

I will toy around with the grid size and see if I can get it going.
Probably moving to a PBC calculation would not help with the problem at all I 
would guess, or?

All the best from a rainy London

Jörg
