Box

Import the required mbuild package.

import mbuild as mb

Orthogonal Box

Build an empty orthogonal mBuild Box (i.e., the angle in degrees are 𝛼 = 90, 𝛽 = 90, 𝛾 = 90) measuring 4.0 nm in all the x, y, and z-dimensions.

Note

Note: if the angles are not specified, the system will default to an orthogonal box (i.e., the angle in degrees are 𝛼 = 90, 𝛽 = 90, 𝛾 = 90).

empty_box = mb.Box(lengths=[4.0, 4.0, 4.0], angles=[90, 90, 90])

Non-Orthogonal Box

Build an empty non-orthogonal mBuild Box (i.e., the angle in degrees are 𝛼 = 90, 𝛽 = 90, 𝛾 = 120) measuring 4.0 nm in the x and y-dimensions, and 5.0 nm in the z-dimension.

empty_box = mb.Box(lengths=[4.0, 4.0, 5.0], angles=[90, 90, 120])
