Hello Kanchi, if you're using NVT, your area should be constant by
definition, so you can't possibly have problems there.
If you use NPT, that can be tricky with charmm 2.7 lipids because you need
to treat x and y (the membrane plane) differently from z (transmembrane
axis). You should switch to the newer c36 lipids, or use constant area
coupling with pressure only along z (NAPzT). If you search a bit more the
messages on this list, you'll find plenty more information.
