Also I've tried to test set_dihedral command but failed

:)

E.g I want to change PHI value ( the angle beetween H-N and C-alpha-C-beta
in the residue)

I've type

set_dihedral resi 40 and name H, resi 40 and name N, resi 40 and  name
CA, resi 40 and name CB, -30

and obtain error

Selection 1 doesn't contain a single atom/vertex.

I suppose this error might be due to incorect definition of H atom in the
first selection. By the way how I could define PHI in case if my structure
lack for hydrogens at all ?
