Hi,

Sorry to bother you again regarding this. But I am not sure, as to why
freeze + constraints should not work during a NPT simulation?

The update algorithm as shown in the manual does not say anything that
would fundamentally prevent this. In fact, one can use freezegroups +
constraints in NVT. What prevents it from running in NPT?


The use of a barostat requires that the positions of the atoms can be scaled according to the pressure. Freezing atoms, by definition, makes them immobile and thus they cannot be scaled. Thus, the two algorithms are fundamentally incompatible.
