[gmx-developers] exclude certain atoms from virial calcs

[Alexander Herz]

Hm..
 looking at the old mailings etc it seems that
the external electric field suffers from the very same problem
(http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2004-July/011473.html).
Looking at the code it appears to me as if the field still writes to the
force (instead of f_novirsum).
So either there is something tricky going on that removes the virial
contribution caused
by the field (that's be exactly what I'm looking for to solve my
problem) or the field
still contributes to the virial and the pressure (which it shouldn't as
only the
internal virial should contribute as pointed out in the mail linked to
above)..
