Error: Illegal fix rigid/small command

Hello LAMMPS Community,

I am trying to model 3D crystal structure packed with liquid and dissolved gaseous molecules. To rigidify individual molecules, I have tried to use fix rigid/small together with fix nvt, however, it’s showed illegal fix error. I have also tried to use fix rigid/nvt/small but still error is same. Here is below my input script;

Anyone please, guide me how to resolve this issue.

This is documented behavior. You cannot use fix rigid/small with groups. Please re-read the fix rigid documentation carefully.

There are several more issues. You are applying time integration to atoms multiple times, which is an error and it seems to me that the way you are using fix rigid is not correct and not going to do what you intend to do.
