Thanks Charles,

I wish to use a few angle constraints to define the orientation between 
different monomers. I guess the bondAngle term is the better option. Do I need 
to write this potential myself or is it already coded in an example?

best regards,

Jakob

If you group three atoms together in a rigid body (using the group()
method of the IVM) the angle will be preserved. Some care must be
taken if you are also using torsion angle dynamics and the atoms are
involved with bonds to other atoms.  It is also possible to write a
simple Python energy term using bondAngle.BondAngle if you'd like a few
angle-only restraints If things aren't 100% clear please provide
further details.

Charles
