I don't see the problem, but maybe it could be worded more clearly. What in
the above description makes you think we are talking about a "PVT" ensemble,
which I agree does not make sense?
For historical reasons that we are reluctant to change, in Amber constant
volume is given by ntb=1, ntp=0; to move to constant pressure, you have to
change two variables, going to ntb=2, ntp=1. Other combinations are not
allowed. The ntt variable is used to distinguish between constant energy and
constant temperature simulations.
