[gmx-users] constant area and normal pressure

[David L. Bostick]

Hi..  I have more of a physics question than a gromacs one.  If I choose a
pressure coupling with:

pcoupl                 = Parrinello-Rahman
pcoupltype              = anisotropic
tau_p                   = 0.5
compressibility         = 0.00 0.00  4.5e-5 0.0 0.0 0.0
ref_p                   = 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

or something similar with semiisotropic coupling.  Would this constitute a
proper constant area and constant normal pressure (i.e. NP[n]AT ) ensemble?

Thanks in advance,
David
