Placed Cl- in mol at (34.54, -37.17, -19.06).

Done adding ions.

　　addions: simply draw a grid around the solute and places ions at grid points where the energies are lowest.  This approach will ignore water molecules in locating where to place the ion and if the chosen location overlaps a water molecule, the water is deleted and replaced with the ion.

　　addions2: it treats solvent molecules the same as solute.
