Dear Aditi:

you can do this by scripting gromacs to run in short segments, modifying the force constant for each run. e.g.:

#!/bin/bash
for((i=1;i<=100; i++)); do
  let "j=i-1"
  grompp -f ${i}.mdp -p ${i}.top -f ${j}.gro -o ${i}.tpr
  mdrun -deffnm ${i}
done

You only need to use some more scripting to create the ${i}.top and ${i}.mdp files, although I think that orientational restraints are going to be part of the topology so the .mdp file can even remain constant.

You can then trjcat -settime once you are done.

-- original message --

I am running an MD simulation on RNA with orientation restraints. Instead of using a single force constant for the whole trajectory, I want to start with a very low force constant and increase it gradually and regularly up to a final suitably high value and then continue the simulation at this final value of force constant.

Can you suggest if there is a way to do so in GROMACS?

Thanks!

Aditi
