hello nick,
this is a question for the NAMD list not the VMD list. so i am copying
namd-l instead of vmd-l
what you describe sounds like something that you might want to implement
using TclForces.
it also might be possible with colvars.
mind you, in both cases, your restraint forces will have to be computed on
the global state, and thus cannot be parallelized and thus will impact
parallel efficiency.
