Thank you Justin. So using nrexcl 0 or 1 (should be the same with
constraints) and type 1 will allow bonded atoms to interact (vdW) with each
other?


No, there will be differences for type 1 in this case. Type 1 generates exclusions per nrexcl. Using nrexcl = 0 will allow for all nonbonded interactions to be calculated, but nrexcl = 1 will exclude interactions with neighboring particles. So the combination of nrexcl = 0 with type 1 constraints, or any value of nrexcl with type 2 constraints will allow for all nonbonded interactions to be calculated.

I was not sure about the fucntion type (1 or 2). Once in manual it is
stated that function 1 is only for exclusions and another time it can be
used to miimc bonds. Both functions are working though.  Thanks anyway.


More precisely, constraints of type 1 generate exclusions between bonded
atoms within nrexcl (defined in the topology), whereas type 2 do not.
  Whether or not you need the constraints to do this depends on the nature
of the force field.
