Graphene sheet moving in Simulation box

Hello everyone,

I have built 4 layers of graphene sheet which is then stretched uniaxially with CVFF potential in the x-direction with a strain rate of 1e-9/s. The stress-stress curve, Elastic Modulus and poisson ratio are all in the reported range. But the jpg figures and from VMD I can see that the sheets are moving in the simulation box. Shouldn’t they strecth along with the box instead of displacing themselves?I am sending you jpg images to look at it.

Any help will greatly appreciated. Here is part of the input file:
