Dear All,
I want to equilibrate a rectangular box. But after running MD 60 ns, the
system become to be a cubic box mostly. I do not want this happens. Can
anyone tell me how to constrain the boxsize. In that case, the boxsize has
fluctuations but remains the same box-type.
If the box shape changes drastically, that usually indicates instability in the
system. A stable simulation will preserve the original unit cell shape. There
is no special way to constrain it to behave as you want it to. NVT keeps the
box dimensions fixed, but that doesn't seem to be what you want.
