SPRING_K = [real (array)] 

The parameter SPRING_K defines force constants for the harmonic bias of the following form: where the sum runs over all () coordinates the potential acts upon (), 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 , otherwise the calculation terminates with an error message.
