in the notation of Bax, Kontaxis, and Tjandra, Methods in Enzymology
399, 127 (2001):
     Da = 0.5 * D(max) * Aa
where Aa is the axial part of the alignment tensor, and can be negative.

The bonds are still there - in the force field, but they have been
removed by the IVM engine because they form topological cycles, which
are not allowed. 

Most frequently in proteins, cycles occur in regions of aromatic
sidechains which should remain rigid- and these are handled by the
anneal.inp script. The PCA residue seems to have an internal loop- but
the script knows nothing about this- what does this residue look like?

You also seem to have disulfide bonds, which you probably should break
explicitly (again topologically- bond forces remain) using BREAk
statements within the IVM. For instance, one statement might look like
this: 

   break (resid 19 and name S) (resid 87 and name S)

I'm sure the residue numbers are incorrect for your case.

8 CYS residues probably means 4 disulfide bonds to break.
