short answer: volume equilibration and therefore density equilibration. Even people who do constant volume production simulations usually do an initial constant pressure simulation to get the density correct.

better answer: find a good simulation textbook and give it a read. Allen and Tildesely was good for me. There are newer books, but mostly I find them more difficult.

HI
I read some papers and it seems that more simulation system is under NPT.

What is the benefit for running MD under NPT?

Thank you
Lin
