I need to briefly clarify: the V of the replicas should be approximately
equivalent. The T varies, as dictated by each given replica.
Best,
Chris

to make the replica exchange, the two neighboring simulations should have
the same volume. Is that right? Or in REMD, I should fix the size of the
water box regardless of the system temperature?

simulation for the system at 300k without any problem. However at high
temperature (600k), the waters and lipids start to expand in both
directions of Z-axis. If I turn on the surfacetension, they would expand in
X and Y directions instead. Since NAMD does not allow to have both constant
area and surface tension at the same time, I wonder if there is a way to
exert forces in X, Y and Z directions to hold the system together.
