I would certainly try to eliminate it as a possibility. I just don't know how the pressure coupling algorithm could possibly handle a tau_t that is several 10e-11 times smaller than the timestep!


*Edit* That should read "tau_p."

A well-equilibrated system should not fluctuate substantially over the course of a simulation, anyway. But if you need to fix the box, you *may* be able to set the relevant values of tau_t and compressibility to

zero (as in the case of tau_t for temperature coupling), but I have never tried it.


This one's right :) Apologies for any confusion, my brain was going faster than my fingers on this reply!
