Any ideas : 1. why slab is moving despite of position constraints? 2. That too, only with com option of refcoord scaling...with all option slab does not move... Thanks On Sun, Jun 15, 2014 at 7:02 PM, Chetan Mahajan chetanv...@gmail.com wrote: The pics should be seen in the reverse order.

Thanks, Justin. That makes it clear. I have one small question: I do not know how does position restraint algorithm work with other things in gromacs, but doesn't it generate a lot of stress due to slab moving from center to near box boundary despite of position restraints, when -com option is

*Forgot to comment:* *So you are saying: because it is more forgiving, we are observing slab movement in a run with com option for refcoord scaling, and NOT in all option...as such, choosing any one of options com or all for refcoord scaling should not matter simulation results point of view,

Thanks. No, same things do not happen when it's a NVT simulation or no mixed potentials. Also, with mixed potentials in NPT simulation, this things of slab moving in one direction (thus following water movement) happens only with -com option of refcoord-scaling, *not with -all option for

Hi Justin, I, actually, do not want to preserve any voids. Initial void that I mentioned is supposed to be filled by water during equilibration and it does so. However, problem is that some or major quantity of water moves out from one side of the box to enter from the opposite side (obeying
