Hi nick,
depending on your needs (if the restraints are only between atoms atoms and
the atoms are not too far apart), the most efficient way might be the
extraBonds
<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/2.9/ug/node27.html#SECTION00086400000000000000>feature,
which can be parallelized.
Best,
Ajasja
