Hello,

I have been trying to simulate DOPC lipid bilayer model in implicit solvent
using Lipid14 force field in Amber18 but after a few ns of production run,
the lipid bilayer starts to deform and behave more like a liposome.
I have prepared the bilayer model using Charmm-Gui web interface and then
minimized the model using Amber18. While simulating the same system in
explicit solvent and same force field for 100 ns did not show membrane
deformation. I just want to know, whether there is any error or this is
normal for a bilayer simulation in Implicit solvent.
