Re: colvar atom syntax

I am having trouble finding an example colvarsConfig file. NAMD Some of the
Colvar documentation says that the format is similar to a regular NAMD
configuration file, but what parameters need to be set in it?

All I want is to restrict the internal motion of a subset of atoms in my
simulation. I do not want them fixed in space, but I want their relative
positions to remain roughly unchanged.

I do not have the colvarsConfig parameter set (no calvar config file) and
the simulation has not thrown any errors.
