Hi all,

I have a question of surface tension in membrane simulation. I found that in 
equilibration and production step, the pressure set up for membrane simulation 
is below:

; Pressure coupling is on
pcoupl          = Parrinello-Rahman         ; Pressure coupling on in NPT
pcoupltype      = semiisotropic             ; uniform scaling of x-y box 
vectors, independent z
tau_p           = 2.0                           ; time constant, in ps
ref_p           = 1.0   1.0                     ; reference pressure, x-y, z 
(in bar)
compressibility = 4.5e-5        4.5e-5  ; isothermal compressibility, bar^-1
 
I would like to know, during these steps, do we have constant pressure or 
constant surface tension? Moreover, different membrane have different surface 
tension, do we need to change and write it in the mdp file (ref_p value?) to 
run the simulation? 

Thanks a lot for your assistance! 

Best,
Ning
