Chamber has never supported NBFix - At the time we were making chamber I was
told this was always a post PSF modification done in the charmm input file
ad so would need extra command line processing within Chamber to be able to
implement it. It was also a feature on the list to be added to chamber but
then unfortunately the funding was rather rudely and unprofessionally yanked
before it could get done and so it has been on the todo list ever since.
I think for now we just need someone to add a check when the parameters are
read from the prmtop file to see if any of the off diagonal elements don't
match and if so then quit in the case of cuda with an error saying it isn't
supported and we'll get to it at some point.
All the best
