[phenixbb] NCS

[Rajesh kumar]

Dear Pavel, 
With global type, it's written to header but with torsion angle nothing is added to pdb though log file suggests about applying NSC. Except the user nobody will know about the ncs. 
Thanks

NCS restraints force the coordinates and B-factors (residual B-factors if TLS is used) of NCS related copies to be *similar* (but not necessarily identical). The degree of similarity is determined by a parameter, and this parameter cannot be set such that NCS restraints become NCS constraints.
