Sunjoo, is there a particular reason why you want to you anisotropic pressure coupling? (I recently tried this myself, on a DMPC bilayer). Some of the key membrane physical properties (like thickness, area per lipid, order parameters) were distorted and did not agree with experimental evidence. So I went with semiisotropic pressure coupling instead, that was much better.

Dear Gromacs people

I am trying to run NPT simulation on a bilayer and want to know right setup to use anisotropic pressure coupling.
I have seen two different cases of reference pressure.
Some people use 1 atm for off-diagonals (xy, yz, zx directions) but other use 0 atm.
From Erik's answer, I could see that if the system is not allowed to deform

to triclinic from rectangular shape, then the last three reference pressures should be zero.

Before I saw his answer, I already ran MD simulation with 1 atm for the off-diagonal of the pressure tensor. I have not seen any particular problem with this setup. Can anyone tell me what problem might have been caused becuase of the pressuring coupling to the off-diagonal directions?
Thank you
Sunjoo
