Hi all,
I use the option "#Surf*SurfTens" in g_engery to calculate the surface
tension, but I find that I really do not know how it works after I get some
inconsistent results compared with the calculation using the formula "gamma
= 0.5*(Pzz - (Pxx+Pyy)/2) * Lz" ( there are two surfaces here and the
surfaces in normal to the Z-axis).

The "#Surf*SurfTens" gives a value 568.25 bar*nm, and "gamma = 0.5*(Pzz -
(Pxx+Pyy)/2) * Lz" gives a value 473.54 bar*nm. Please give me some
suggestions about the inconsistency. Thanks in advance.
