Hmm ... pretty simple perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I generate a frozen box of the water and my solute and gradually warm it up in the NVT ensemble. I'm looking to study the droplet evaporation in full vacuum. I am also using an angular comm_mode for both the solvent and the solute in this system, which I forgot to mention previously. Otherwise my simulation setup is entirely unremarkable. > To avoid molecules to go far far far away you can define a dummy > atom at the center of your system and define distance restraint. > The water molecules would not be able to further than a given > distance. You might have to define a lot of distance restraints, though! I will look at the manual on this. Seems it would be fairly simple to write a little something to generate these constraints automatically for all the water in my system. Perhaps I have gone about this all wrong for my spherical droplet evaporation in vacuum. If you have any recommendation, that would be much appreciated. Thanks again, Anthony -- Anthony B.
