[lammps-users] NPT question

Hi,

I am trying to run a simulation of water in a polymer matrix at 300 Kelvins and 1 atmosphere.
The file below contains my instructions to LAMMPS:

My goal is to see the total distance the water moves in the polymer matrix.

Am I wrong to expect the temperature and pressure
reported in the thermo command should converge to 300 and 1 respectively?

In the LAMMPS manual NPT is reported to do time integration, temperature and pressure thermostatting
so I should see volume change over time?

Thanks in advance,

LAMMPS is always 3D unless you are doing a specific 2D project

yes.
