[gmx-users] T-coupling/freeze groups

So then the question is: should the enrgy be conserved if one freezes 
atoms? Some considerations:

- Physically, freezing is similar to giving the particles infinite mass
- Is the force the derivative of the energy if we freeze particle?
- Is the kinetic energy correct? We have zero velocities but infinite
  masses.
- Do you have separate T-coupling group for the non-frozen atoms?
