Dear all, I am working on clay in water box. I have fixed the COM of clay, by grouping the clay atoms and applied the following command.

I have this clay surrounded by water molecules in simulation box of 60 angstrom cube.

I am trying to find thermodynamic parameters such as diffusion coef, viscosity, rdf , etc, of water.

Is it necessary to fix COM of box also? Does it give wrong data?

Kindly suggest me.
