PBC not applied in TorchMDNetPotential #115

I’ve been using TorchMDNetPotential in OpenMM-ML and noticed that periodic boundary conditions are currently not taken into account inside torchmdnetpotential.py. For systems with a periodic box this becomes an issue, since the forces are computed as if the system were non-periodic.

A small change would solve it. Something like:

        def forward(self, positions: torch.Tensor, boxvectors: Optional[torch.Tensor] = None):
            positions = positions.to(torch.float32).to(self.numbers.device)
            if self.subset:
                positions = positions[self.indices]

            **if boxvectors is not None:
                cell = boxvectors.to(torch.float32)/self.lengthScale
            else:
                cell = None**

            energy = self.model(z=self.numbers, pos=positions/self.lengthScale, batch=self.batch, q=self.charge, **box=cell**)[0]
            return energy*self.energyScale

    # Create the TorchForce and add it to the System.
    module = torch.jit.script(TorchMDNetForce(model, numbers, charge, atoms, batch, self.lengthScale, self.energyScale)).to(torch.device('cpu'))
    **isPeriodic = (topology.getPeriodicBoxVectors() is not None) or system.usesPeriodicBoundaryConditions()**
    force = openmmtorch.TorchForce(module)
    if use_cudagraphs:
        force.setProperty("useCUDAGraphs", "true")
    force.setForceGroup(forceGroup)
    **force.setUsesPeriodicBoundaryConditions(isPeriodic)**
    system.addForce(force)
