Hi,

LAMMPS

not enough information here for a detailed reply. but you can turn off
interactions by either choosing suitable potential parameters (e.g.
epsilon = 0.0 in lj/cut), not defining or deleting bonded
interactions, or by removing pairs of atoms from the neighborlist.
please read up on the documentation for neigh_modify

axel.

I try to turn off interactions and it is working.
For virtual atom, you can follow: doi:10.1088/0957-4484/26/23/235705
