You are using periodic boundaries (ntb=1) but your coordinate file does not
contain any box information. Do you want to run a gas phase simulation? If
so then set ntb=0.

If you want to run a periodic simulation then you need to go back to leap
and re-create your prmtop and inpcrd files and make sure that you use one of
the solvate commands to create a periodic system..

All the best
Ross
