[gmx-users] pressure in NPT and NVT

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Nilesh,

You don't state the size of your system and the length of your simulations,
which are highly relevant in relation to your observations. In any case, you
should consider that your simulation is but a single sample, drawn from a
distribution of possible paths, and it is probably quite reasonable to find
it off by a few bar if the simulation is short and/or the system size is
small.

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk

Probably the system is not yet equilibrated.

Because the box is fixed.  It cannot respond to internal forces in your
system.  Pressure values during NVT don't mean much.
