Subject: turning off ewald
I'm trying to run a non-periodic dynamics simulation with ntb=0,
cut=999, and a belly around my ligand. But, sander dies. The mdout
file says,
--------------------------------
Warning: Although EWALD will work with belly
(for equilibration), it is not strictly correct!
--------------------------------
and then at the bottom, it reportedly dies of an EWALD BOMB, because
my nonbond list exceeds the MAXPR.
The manual says PME "is always "on", unles ntb=0, or use_pme is set to
zero." So, after this, I tried explicitly setting use_pme=0 in the
&ewald namelist as well, but sander still behaves the same way. Any
ideas on what might be keeping me from turning PME off? Or is PME
actually off with the error message just trying to reflect the
pairlist exceeding my limit?
I don't understand how PME could be run on a non-periodic system and
the mdout file also says:
--------------------------------
| NONPERIODIC ntb=0 and igb=0: Setting up nonperiodic simulation
| *** cutoff > system size, list only builds once"
--------------------------------
