Hi all,

I'm simulating a system of two reservoirs connected by a carbon nanotube.
The reservoir wall atoms and carbon nanotube atoms are held in place using
freeze groups at all times. I'm currently equilibrating the reservoirs
separately by also freezing the water inside the nanotube, but after 20 ns
two of the frozen water molecules have jumped outside of the nanotube into
a supposedly inaccessible region. What could cause this? Should I be
worried?


I would be. Frozen groups aren't supposed to move at all. Verify that the problematic water molecules are indeed contained within whatever frozen group(s) you have assigned in the .mdp file. Otherwise, there's no immediate explanation, especially since other frozen atoms are staying frozen.
