It depends on the exact model you wish to implement. If you want a  
spherical cavity with a repulsive potential of finite range, use an  
InfiniteUniverse with a potential representing the wall of the  
cavity. You can use the ElectricField force field example as a  
starting point.

If you want a hard wall, you will have to write a new MD integrator  
that implements the boundary conditions of your universe in its  
equations of motion.
