COM moves after restarting calculation

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have "Center coordinates" as True in my
input. But I thought it was mandatory to give that when asked to
perform the Poisson solver?! Is that not correct?

Thanks again
Lakshmi

I find that when I restart the BOMD calculation (to do more time steps), right at the beginning, there is a movement of the center of mass of the entire system. Although, this is not going to affect the physics, it is a distracting feature when viewing the final trajectory (for all the time steps before and after the restart). Is there some way this can be avoided?
