31. During simulations, we repeatedly found that when the dimension of the simulation cell is commensurate with the equilibrium layer-spacing, the lamellae with layer plane parallel to one face of the simulation cell are very likely to be formed from the initial disordered phase. Otherwise, to make the layer-spacing close to its equilibrium value, the systems grow into tilted lamellae with the layer plane to longer parallel to any face of the cell.
