Re: AW: Bulk properties of polymers

Dear Norman Geist,I want to simulate a box of specific volume containing monomers which are randomly distributed. Then I have to pull or push the box with a certain force in a particular direction.
I have seen this kind of simulations being performed using other MD packages. But in NAMD I have not seen such simulations being done by anyone.
So, I am not sure if it can be done. Also not getting a clue how to do it. If you give me some guidelines on how to do it, it will be extremely useful.

Regards,
B.S.Sindu
