Hi,
On molecular levels, 1 and 0 atm are virtually identical unless you
are doing a millisecond simulation. The fluctuations will be at least
+-500 atm. Thus, you'll almost certainly be fine.
As for off-diagonal elements, if you don't want the box shape to
change you need to set the _compressibility_ to zero there.
Cheers,
Erik

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
