There are a number of options. The most direct is to use
phenix.metal_coordination --use-default-bondlengths=1 model.pdb
to get an "edits" file which contains a number of bond and angle
directives for phenix.refine. Without the --use-default-bondlengths
option, the bonds in the model.pdb are used as ideal distances. With
the option, the ideal values are quantum chemical calculated distances.
Always look in the edits file to make sure it contains the restraints
you want. You can remove some (angles are the most likely candidates)
and add if desired.
You can also run
phenix.ready_set model.pdb
which will generate the "edits" file and add hydrogens to your model.
