[gmx-users] Steered Molecular Dynamics (SMD) in Gromcas-4.0.5

[Carsten Kutzner]

Hi,

you should set one pull group, not 700. The number of atoms in your
pull group is 700. Freezing the pull group in x and y direction probably
does what you want. Please also consider to upgrade to 4.0.7,
which is the most recent stable version.

Best,
  Carsten
