Dear all,
I have a model system :  Na(+) and Cl(-) in vacuum. In the MD run I want to
fix Cl(-) and allow the Na(+) to move only  along x-direction subject to a
harmonic constraint.
My Namd config file is given below:

But when i analyzed the traj (dcd) file I saw Na(+) is moving in all the
direction (x, y, z). Cl(-) is fixed in place as expected. Please let me know
what should i do.
