​You should give longer than a day for knowledgeable people to respond
before re-asking a question, *especially* when asking on a weekend (realize
that you haven't even provided people with a single business day to respond
before asking a second time). I'm pretty sure this is impossible in the
current version of the code but I think that the upcoming release will
support this kind of restraint -- given my uncertainty about whether the
release in April will support this, I was going to let someone else
respond. You might be able to use point-plane restraints (sander only, no
GPU) to do what you want, but I'm not sure about that.

Depends. ASMD is a protocol for performing steered MD using a particular
restraint. z-restraints refer to a specific functional form of the
restraint potentials (involving only the z-coordinate). You can do steered
MD using z-restraints if you want, or you can do umbrella sampling using
z-restraints.
