Hi,
Yes Normen I am using pressure as force on the boundaries. I have attached a snapshot of my model with this mail. You can see in the snapshot that water atoms at the boundries are unevenly distributed. Due to their large no. I can not identify individual atoms hence I am thinking of putting them in a box and then apply force on the box boundries. Would this be a correct method to calculate stresses in the system.
Thanks
Anurag Sharma

Hi Anurag,
If you want to apply custom forces to all atoms in the system, it is typically most efficient to script them as tclBC (Tcl boundary conditions).
Cheers,
Jerome
