Hi Shen,

 Yeah, I agree with you. Both of them are somehow
similar. You can generate consKFile and consKCol by
using

atomselect top "protein and name CA"

Hope this will work for you. Basically later is used
to prevent large fluctuation in the system. For detail
please refer NAMD manual.

thanks
surendra
