Deal all,

Thank you very much for the prompt reply. I have added
"run 50020" just before the free energy bolck (as mentioned by Wenyu). The
simulation has started without error message. But looking at the log file it
seems to me that the restraint specified by me is not active in the run.

I have attached both the "test_const.log" (log file) and "test_const.namd"
(config file).

Please let me know what is going on.

Regards and thanks again

satpati
