Hello, I assume that you mean pull_pbcatom0... Nothing changes when I set this to an atom index I am afraid. I saw that you had use pull_geometry=cylinder in your recent JACS paper. Would it be too much to ask to see those pull settings? I simply cannot get the molecule to stay at the desired

Hi, we had similar trouble some time ago, and we could solve it by using a good PBC atom. Make sure that your pbc_atom is in the very center of your membrane. Btw, using distance to compare with cylinder is a bad test, since it does something very different (the distance is the same at

Is the problem specific to cylinder geometry? Do other settings work? Does it make a difference if you set values for pull_r0 and pull_r1? -Justin I would think that it is the cylinder geometry that creates the problem. If I use pull= umbrellapull_geometry

Does the cylinder geometry work if you use pull_start = no and pull_init1 equal to your starting (restraint) distance? I'm just trying to go through all of the iterations of what might be failing. In theory, what you're doing is fine but I'd be interested to know if there was something
