You can use SHAKE to keep the individual molecules rigid. However, please
check your results carefully: CO2 is a linear molecule that requires special
attention to keep rigid. I'm not sure whether or not the Amber code as it
stands is suited to this problem. Maybe someone on the list has tried this.
