[gmx-users] Distance restraint energy terms

[nikhil damle]

I have already included the [distance_restraints] section in .top file. In principle fac coloumn should be multiplied with the default force constant (1000 Kj Mol-1 nm-2) and that should get reflected in the mdout.mdp file. But this does not happen. mdout.mdp file still depicts the force constant to be 1000 even though fac coloumn > 1. I wish to restrain the distance between on two atoms.

Then you haven't applied any distance restraints.

Setting distance restraints isn't as simple as setting some .mdp options, you have to have a [distance_restraints] section in the topology that describes exactly what those restraints are.  This is all in the manual, and has been discussed a number of times on the list, so there should also be some pointers in the archives.

If it works, you should see the corresponding energy term.
