    Subtracts mass-weighted fraction of the total
    force action on all particles of the type from
    the particles after each force calculation. This
    keeps the center of mass of the type fixed iff
    the total momentum of the type is zero.

    types : array_like
        List of types for which the center of mass should be fixed.
