RE: [gmx-users] about NPT run

Hi,

For position restraints there is an mdp option refcoord_scaling that sets how
the reference positions are affected by pressure scaling.

 Frozen groups cannot have their coordinates scaled by pressure coupling.  I 
 believe this can lead to spurious contributions to the virial and pressure, 
 so 
 it is generally recommended that NPT not be combined with frozen groups.
