This is not really correct - the particle number is *not* Nsample^3.

The particle number is determined by whatever particle number of particles is in the glass file, say Nglass, as well as the tile factor:
Npart = Nglass * TileFac^3
For a given Npart, one normally sets Nsample = Npart^(1/3), but one could also choose it differently in certain cases.
