Dear Thomas, Whilst in principle a constraint should do what you are asking, you might be better off using multiple vsites to solve the problem so that there is an algebraic as apposed to numerical mapping of the forces. My immediate thought is to use two type 3 (or if necessary type 3fd) virtual

An Angle constraint amounts to fixing a triangle. To do this you need to constrain the distances between all the atoms as you know the of the bonds 6064, 6063 and 6063, 6065 and the angle between the two bonds it is a trivial geometry problem calculate the length of the third side of the triangle (

Virtual sites are by definition have no mass. If you simply ignore the mass of the carbon the molecule will be too light and its translational momentum will therefore be too small meaning it will move too quickly. If you place half the mass of the carbon on each oxygen the moment of inertia will

Have you thought about using the cross product. If you took the cross product of the unit vector in the direction of every atom starting from atom 1 then moved on to starting from atom 2 and so on you would have a set of vectors normal to every group of three atoms. If you then normalised them
