Dear Yong,
You are right about the computation of nonbonded component in the
pressure profile. Additionally, you have to disable the PME calculation
and then use a long nonbonded cutoff.
Additionally, I also have a question to the NAMD community. I am trying
to compute the pressure profile along the normal to a POPC bilayer. The
simulation has been compute with wrapall "on" and COMmotion "no" at
constant pressure and temperature.Consequently, the COM of the membrane
moves around the z axis. How the pressure profile computation takes into
account this motion? Should I systematically re-center my system on the
membrane COM?

Thanks a lot!
