[lammps-users] problem of high pressure value for initial relaxed state.

Hello sir,

I have created a simulation system consisting of a sphere and two plates on top of that along z-direction. Initially when I run the simulation to calculate the pressure it shows a very high value, ideally it should be near zero. In the next iteration, I used displace box command(0.995 along z- direction and no displacement along x and y direction) to displaced the sphere atoms & used restart file from first iteration to calculate the pressure. This time pressure value is very much close to the initial relaxed state value but on the higher side.

Plz , help me in solving this problem, as to why the system is showing high pressure value initially.
Thanks in advance.

Because your initial config has atoms that are overlapped too much.
