lost atoms ignore

Hii all,

I am using

'thermo_modify lost warn norm yes" to ignore the lost atoms.

But on using, it gives a warning of lost atoms and immediately after that the value of pressure of my system suddenly increases to 10000 times the previous timestep . Is this expected? can anyone tell me why is it happening and what can be done to solve this problem.

Thanx.

Nidhi.

losing atoms is usually a sign for bad input. unless you have a system
where atoms are supposed to exit the simulation (in a controlled
fashion), you should not lose atoms. ignoring the fact, that you lose
atoms, does not fix the problem that originates it. so yes, what you
observe is expected, since you didn't seem to have addressed the real
problem, but only tried to limit the impact of the symptoms.
