[lammps-users] Parallel tempering + NPT

Hi,

Is NPT fix for parallel tempering not possible.
It gives me the following error

ERROR: Tempering fix is not valid

I went through the temper.cpp code, which tells
only nvt and langevin is possible.

well, in principle you can hack around this,
but the question remains, whether you would
generate a meaningful ensemble this way.

my memory is a bit hazy (i'm getting old), but
my recollection is that for parallel tempering
with npt, you'd also have a pressure based
exchange domain, i.e. some kind of 2-d parallel
tempering.

if i remember correctly, there should be some work
in the literature on this topic by dietmar paschek
and angel garcia.
