Inquiry about lipid membrane simulation

Dear NAMD developers and users,

I am simulating a lipid bilayer system containing a partially embedded
protein, and am trying to convert the CHARMM input files into NAMD
configuration files.

I have two questions:

1) In CHARMM, the MMFP GEO PLANE ... is used to keep the non-crystal water
molecules away from entering the hydrophobic core of lipid bilayer, and I
wonder if there is any corresponding command lines in NAMD? I found the
NAMD tutorial about membrane system is using a tcl file and since it uses
CHARMM27 lipid force field, I figured it was created way back. Therefore, I
want to ask if there might be any update in the NAMD code that allows
restraining water with simple script lines?

2) Similar to the first question, may I ask if there is any MMFP GEO
Cylindrical .... in NAMD?

Thank you very much.

Best,
Mo
