Are you sure that namd-2.12 allows to re-read the fixedatomsfile?

Betreff: RE: namd-l: Turning off and back on fixed atoms
Actually getting NAMD to permit toggling of features is actually not too
tough - the question is whether or not the actual forces, etc. are still
being correctly computed as a result.
I'm not familiar with Tiger2A, but the obvious concern is in how one
properly handles a fluctuating number of degrees of freedom. Is there a
proposed solution to this problem? What is the desired behavior for things
like the virial?
My guess is that you will have to intermittently read, write, and reload a
PDB file specifying the fixed selection and then reallocate the structure
from the PSF (using reinitatoms) - this should be possible in 2.12, but it
is still a beta feature for sure.

Subject: namd-l: Turning off and back on fixed atoms
Hi,
I'd like to implement the Tiger2A REMD via the TCL interface, using the
common API replicaSend/Recv etc. This would require to be able to turn on
and off fixed atoms and should also allow to change which atoms are fixed,
between run commands.
I know this is not possible so far, but I guess people would appreciate this
feature.
Best wishes
Norman Geist
