SPRING_K = [real (array)] 

Description: The parameter SPRING_K defines force constants ([math]\displaystyle{ \kappa_{\mu}) }[/math] for the harmonic bias of the following form: [math]\displaystyle{ \tilde{V}(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_{M_8}) = \sum_{\mu=1}^{M}\frac{1}{2}\kappa_{\mu} (\xi_{\mu}(q)-\xi_{0\mu})^2 \; }[/math] where the sum runs over all ([math]\displaystyle{ M_8 }[/math]) coordinates the potential acts upon ([math]\displaystyle{ \xi_{\mu}(q) }[/math]), which are defined in the ICONST-file by setting the status to 8. The number of items defined via SPRING_K must be equal to [math]\displaystyle{ M_8 }[/math], otherwise the calculation terminates with an error message.
