Generalized Born solvation models supported by NAMD

Greetings,

I know NAMD supports the GB-OBC models I and II for implicit solvent
simulations [1], which correspond to AMBER parameter igb=2 and igb=5
values, respectively. One simply has to change GBISDelta, GBISBeta, and
GBISGamma values to switch between these two models. Is it necessary to
activate surface tension (NAMD parameters "sasa on" and "surfaceTension
0.0072", as in AMBER)?

Also, is it possible to use with NAMD the older GB-HCT model [2], which
corresponds to AMBER parameter igb=1?

thanks in advance,
Thomas
