Dear Javad,

NAMD does not try to be everything to everyone. For points 2 to 4 in your
list, LAMMPS is probably the go-to package. A lot of your point 1 can
actually be scripted in NAMD. Not sure what you mean with "multiple Tcl
forces". One script can apply as many forces as you want. And you can do
BAR in NAMD (or rather by prostprocessing data from NAMD).
