Hi Carlos,
should rk2 be negative when applying repulsive for between two groups closer than r2? When I set it to 50, the two groups are close but the restrain in output file is 0.
Thanks,
Ming

you might try using a distance restraint that has rk2=0, this will give no penalty for distances longer than r2 and a harmonic penalty below r2. You can define groups of atoms for COM distance restraints.
check the manual for details (use the nmropt=1 option), and then create a restraint that looks something like this (making sure to edit the atom numbers, distances and force constants). igr1 and igr2 list the atoms in each COM group. r1/r2/r3/r4 define the distance points where the function changes. rk2 and rk3 are the force constants. The function is described in this tutorial: https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial4/__;!!NVzLfOphnbDXSw!TI_PpsbMCL8Whg8o7-3O7qAwmtKzGL2a_c4Q-vx_db-A5zB7SGvlObCAU4veBB_2eqzW$
