Oh ! Thnaks I saw that table, the angle_restrain option is there but not constraints . Anyway if suppose, I fix the distance between the two terminal atoms of the molecule, the angle will eventually be fixed at a particular given value. Is that the logic ? Actually I searched for this problem so many times but didn't get proper clue; in one of those mails I saw someone has dealt with some dummy atoms. I could not able to digest that logic.
