Dear Thomas,

Thank you very much for the kind reply.  I tried with PINT module in cp2k,
the weird thing is,  I want to fix some atoms during the calculations, but
it seems that the "CONSTRAINT" section didn't work, because the atoms which
are supposed to be fixed moves a lot according to the structures it gives
out. Do you know what is the problem and how to fix it?

I attached the input file, thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards,
Yun
