What I meant is if there's away of defining the maximum number of connected particles, i.e., if I define a set of restraint via the MinimumPairRestraint, can I set a limit to the number of particles that can be connected?

Suppose we have two particles, A and B, which are connected to n other particles. To select the connected pairs, I use the MinimumPairRestraint function. This works fine because the n other particles can be connected to both A and B, with a certain preference depending on the size of A and B. The problem is that doing so I end up with all the n particles connected only to A (or only to B), and I know that there is a "saturation" limit, i.e. A and B can be connected to a maximum number of particles. That's why I would like to limit the maximum number of particles that can be connected to A and to B.
