Thankyou Jason,

Yes, I realise that now, I was hoping that there might be an alternative to
nmropt modes that will still enable us to use the nmr distance restraints in
a different way with cuda. I will try to use pmemd.mpi and see.

Kind regards,

Andre

You can use pmemd (or pmemd.MPI) to my knowledge, just not pmemd.cuda.
pmemd is still considerably faster than sander for the capabilities that it
DOES possess.

Good luck,
Jason
