Hello William, I want to know the influence of the change from {*38.8605230
39.1154930 39.2709120*} to {*22.564 22.699 22.781*}. Does the output
change a lot?

>> Hello World,
>>
>> I have been learning cp2k calculation with tutorials on the website. And
>> I have a few questions about the tutorial by Professor Iannuzzi, "QM/MM
>> study of UREA Zwitterion in water
>> <https://www.cp2k.org/exercises:2015_cecam_tutorial:urea#fourth_taskqm_mm_metadyanamics_simulations>
>> ".
>>
>> 1) In the first task of "First task: MM isobaric/isothermal ensemble",
>> the cell size is specified as "ABC [angstrom] 38.8605230 39.1154930
>> 39.2709120", I do not know where these numbers are from. I measured the
>> initial length of the cubic box generated from ambertools, it is around
>> only 20 angstroms.
>>
>> 2) The second question is about the procedure of calculation. We do the
>> NPT in the first step, why do we need to do the following NVT ensemble in
>> the second and third step?
>>
>> 3) How to correctly visualize the result of step 1(The NPT ensemble) in
>> VMD?(I saw the whole system seems to be shifting here and there) Should we
>> expect a rectangular unit cell for the whole system? Does CP2K have the
>> functionality of "wrap" that can move atoms outside the unit cell back into
>> the box?
>>
>> I really appreciate that many professors and developers contributed to
>> these helpful tutorials.
>>
>> If anyone can answer these questions, it would be fantastic.
>>
>> Thanks.
