Hello Abhijit, take a look at the NAMD manual under "Position restraints
parameters". You can choose individual Cartesian components (default: all,
or XYZ) to confine the X and Y coordinates of one group. For the atoms
that don't move at all, why not use fixedAtoms?
Note also that due to the traditional confusion of terms between holonomic
constraints (i.e. frozen coordinates) and harmonic restraints, and the fact
that you mentioned SMD along the way, most people here understood your
request as the latter. Please clarify it not the case.
