How to fix a group without moving

Hi all,
Following partial input script discribes a collision bewteen two unfixed groups. evrything is ok.
My question is how to fix the left group without moving , let right group move and compact on the left group.
I applied the “fix setforce” command to practice it. However, this command make a constraint of deformation for the left group.
i want the right group move and compact on a fixed left group, both of them can deform due to collision.
All your reply are appreciated.
##define two group

group left id <= ***
group right id >= ***

collision between two unfixed group.

fix 4 all nve

velocity left set v_l NULL NULL units box
velocity right set v_r NULL NULL units box

Hi all,
       Following partial input script discribes a collision bewteen two

incomplete inputs are useless. your mistake is likely elsewhere. what
is so difficult to understand about this???

i told you several times to not do this and be more concise and
complete in your problem description. if you don't care to respect the
wishes of people that volunteer their time to help you, the you are
not worth that time.

good luck (you're going to need it),

Hi all,
   Following  input script discribes three groups of atoms. The down and left group were aparted from one block. Down group was fixed by the fix_setforce command and the left and right group were not. 

Then relaxed the system and computed the temperature of both left and right group. During second stage relaxation, the temperature of left group raised, and right group decreased. was this phenomenon normal or something was wrong in the input?

All your reply are appreciated.
