[gmx-users] about the pressure

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Congratulations, you're the Nth user asking this question on the
gromacs user list, where N is some very large number! (In other words,
here's another one for the FAQ).

It is indeed in bar. The fluctuations originate from the fact that the
pressure is a macroscopic quantity and your MD system is microscopic.
You could've read such things in standard texts on MD, possibly in the
Gromacs manual and certainly in the archives of the user list. Please
consult these first if you run into a problem or a question.

And please also read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Best,

Tsjerk
