[CP2K:2672] Bond rotation restraint

Hello Ilya,

1 kjmol ?! this means (since you didn't add any other unit at the 
denominator) that you have an increase of energy of 3.14 kjmol when the 
angle increases by 180 degrees. This is 0.75 kcal/mol. What kind of 
effects are you expecting to see? Unless your MD runs at 0.1 Kelvin I 
doubt you will see any effect..

Try to increase this value and you will see something..

All the other questions are difficult to understand: try to express them 
in a short, concise, and clear style, possibly in English.
Thank you,
Teo
