Hi,
In my simulaition,there are two problem.
(1)I want to do that in my input file:first,i use NPT with the P P P boundary condition to control the temperature and pressure,after that, i use NVE with the P P fs. As far as I know,once giving out the boundary condition, Don’t allow to chang it in the same input file.How can i do it ?
(2)In the simulation of cutting, I want to use periodic boundary (p p p) condition to the substrate,while free boundary condition to the cutting tool,how can i set it ?

You can't do it in one script. You can write out a restart file from
the periodic simluation, convert it to a data file, then read that into
a new script that sets the BC to be non-periodic. You should be careful
to define the box dimensions in the new data file to be consistent with
the new BC.

Boundaries (periodic or not) are global settings, for the entire simulation
box. If the substrate is 3d periodic, then it is of infinite extent. What
does it mean to impose a cutting tool on the substrate from outside infinity?
