It's not clear what you want to do. Can you explain more about the xray and
nmr? Are the they same molecular system? Using the xray data may not be
appropriate if the peptide changes between solution and crystal, or if your
crystal is not the peptide by itself. There are certainly ways to use
dihedral restraints based on xray (see the nmropt section of the manual)
but if the structures do not match then using xray data may bias your nmr
refinement to the wrong result, or at best not be helpful for the nmr
refinement if they are kept weak enough not to introduce bias.

So to help more we need more information about the sources of your data and
exactly what you want to learn from the simulation.
