Dear gmx-users
Iwould like to calculate the PMF between two nanotubes covered
with some molecules. To do that, one nanotube has to be held fixedly and
another one
  is supposed to be moved as a rigid entity. To generate configurations,  for 
fixed nanotube
  I used
position restraints in all directions and for rigid nanotube,  I used the 
combination
  of distance restraint plus position restraint in y and z direction  ( x is 
myreaction coordinate)
to keep the nanotube shape. My question is, after obtaining all configuration, 
can I use position
restraint for both nanotubes in all directionsin umbrella sampling step or I 
should conduct this
step in the same condition of generation of configuration step?

What would be the point of using an umbrella potential between two species that are already restrained by other means? It accomplishes nothing.
