Hi Justin,

I just want to ask how is the r(nm) in posre.itp working?

I would like to put semi-permeable wall on +/- 2.4 nm in z coordinate of the 
box.

When I write 2.4 in the r(nm) property for [position_restraints] in posre.itp, 
it seems all of the molecules that I apply flat-bottom restraint travel +/- 2.4 
nm.
But I do not want this, I would like to put a wall or force on +/-2.4 nm in z 
of the box.
Do you have any advice about this?

Thanks in advance.
