So you want to do an in vacuo simulation?  This sort of situation has been 
discussed many times in the past (hint: search the list archive).  Otherwise, 
refer to relevant literature that has attempted similar simulation setup.  Force 
field choice is quite important here, as most were not designed to work in 
vacuo, but there may be ways of making it work, based on what you find in 
published studies.
