QMMM hexagonal unit cell

[Giacomo Melani]

Dear all,

coming back to my inquiry on QM/MM: is it possible to use an MM cell which 
has same Lx and Ly dimensions as the QM cell (the Lz dimension of MM will 
then be larger than the lz dimension of the QM part)? In this case the 
prerequisite of being the QM cell centered in the MM part should be 
fulfilled right?

Thanks a lot for any help,

GM
