Thanks for your reply. There is no absolute reference here. The system is
just from this web site
"http://www.csc.fi/english/research/sciences/chemistry/courses/gmx2007";
(hands-on: The pull package).
 I really do not know the advantage or necessity of stopcm in SMD, because
when I test the two systems,
with and without stopcm, there is a distinct difference between the
calculated pull force.

MD is chaotic, so changing any detail will change the course of the simulation. Any ensemble averages should be the same, but for short runs, as the course example, you do not reach the ensemble average.

I guess this is the reason for the difference.

Berk.
