Now I am confused: NPT simulation only makes sense for periodic simulations.
What is the relation to your previous question about simulating "an isolated
small water cluster using Amber 8 (NVE ensemble)"? Do you have periodic
boundary conditions turned on? If so, no rotation would be removed, since
that doesn't make sense for periodic simulations. (See the discussion of the
NSCM variable in the manual).
