Hello,
i am having trouble using the pull options in gromacs 4.0.4. i am simply trying to move a protein from the top of the box to a certain point in the center. i have had no luck using a constant pulling or umbrella pulling the error i receive is:

"You are using an absolute reference for pulling, but the rest of the
  system does not have an absolute reference. This will lead to artifacts."

here is my most recent .mdp pull options:

; PULL
pull                        = umbrella
pull_geometry                = position
;pull_group0                =
pull_init1                = 3.279 3.279 3.90
pull_group1                = MID
pull_dim                = Y Y Y
pull_k1                        = 50


is there a way to make my system have an absolute reference? or is there some other way of pulling it that has worked for others?


The error message is related less to the pull options than it is to COM motion removal. For instance:

If you search the mailing list archives you will find lots of related posts. I pulled those up immediately by searching: "absolute reference" pulling.
