Hi Mihir,
"Belly" is a different and nowadays little-used way of fixing
atom positions. Rather than using a restraining force, it sets a list
of atoms whose coordinates are never updated, regardless of
forces on them. So it's normal that the belly machinery stays off when
you specify restraints via restraintmask, etc.
