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 z-po

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 z
