-p, --padding=9.0

Sets the minimum amount of solvent padding around the solute.

-r, --rectangular

Use a rectangular prism rather than a cube for solvation.

-s, --randomSeed=auto

Specify a random seed for ion placement.

--sFi, --solventFile=water

A file containing the solvent box to be used. There is currently no default.

-V, --version
