in PBC, I put empty space as a vacuum beside water box (in x direction), then in SMD section I applied external force in the same direction to my molecule. but as I said the whole water molecules move In X direction along with my molecule!
Here is my config file:

How should it be possible to pull a molecule out of the water, when you have periodic boundaries?

Hi,
I want to pull out a molecule from water box with SMD, but when I implemented SMD ,I see the whole water box move with my
molecule too , how can I keep water box fixed ?
I have used PBC and I
specified SMD atoms exactly in reference file.
