Automate the dimensions of the `System` box #50

Open shanilpanara opened 4 years ago

Summary

At the moment, when we generate an oxDNA system, we are manually inputting an x, y and z size dimension for the box of the system (e.g. [50. , 50. , 50.]). For MD Simulations, we do not want those DNA strands to be outside of the so-called box of the system.

This is a tricky one because I think that the box should in general be manually inputted since when running simulations, since it is so important to molecular simulations and a user would manually input the box size more often than not. I think we can add an option to the System class where it takes a variety of different arguments, e.g.:

Another thing I've noticed is that the DNA structures are not 'centred' within this box, this might also be something we need to consider implementing alongside this.
