Hi all,

I was wondering what happens if I used the "rigid" option several times in the 
geometry constraints block. Let's say I want to relax a stack of monolayers, 
but keeping the z coordinates of the atoms in individual layer equal. For 
example, if there are 10 atoms in each layer, the constraint block would look 
something like this:

%block Geometry.Constraints
 atom all 1.0 0.0 0.0       # Fix in-plane coordinates
 atom all 0.0 1.0 0.0
 atom [1 -- 10]                # Freeze layer 1
 rigid [11 -- 20]               # Relax layer 2, same z coord
 rigid [21 -- 30]               # Relax layer 3
 rigid [31 -- 40]               # Relax layer 4
%endblock Geometry.Constraints

My question is: Does each use group of rigid fix that group of atoms 
independently, or are all of the atoms specified in all three uses of rigid 
grouped together?

Thanks,

Daniel Bennett
