Hi:

I have used NTP=2 in my constant pressure MD simulation of DMPC bilayer +
protein, however, with Sander using Amber8.

I did not find any problem, here is the input::

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
 &cntrl
  imin = 0,
  irest = 1,
  ntx = 7,
  ntb = 2,
  ntp = 2,
  pres0 = 1.0,
  taup = 2.0,
  cut = 10,
  ntr = 1,
  ntc = 2,
  ntf = 2,
  tempi = 300.0,
  temp0 = 300.0,
  ntt = 3,
  gamma_ln = 1.0,
  nstlim = 100000, dt = 0.002,
  ntpr = 100, ntwx = 2000, ntwr = 1000
  restraint_wt=50.0
  restraintmask=':1-297.CA,C,O,N,H'

Best, Akshay (Olemiss)

Subject: AMBER: Problem with anisotropic pressure scaling

Dear Fellow AMBER Users:

I am trying to do a constant pressure MD run on a DMPC lipid bilayer. I
would like to set ntp=2, as that seems more appropriate for membrane
simulations. However, when I try to run the simulation, I get the following
error message in the output file:

Unit 5 Error on OPEN: lipid_only_constP_NTP.in

This is a pmemd run (amber7).
I also get the following error in the nohup.out file (I am using no hookup)


  Unit 5 Error on OPEN: lipid_only_constP_NTP.in

[0] MPI Abort by user Aborting program !
[0] Aborting program!
p0_11748: p4_error: : 1

/usr/local/mpich-1.2.4/bin/mpirun: line 1: 11748 Broken pipe

The exact same job with ntp=1 runs with no error message.

Here is the input file in question:

&cntrl
        nstlim=100000,
        imin=0,nscm=1000,
        nmropt=0,
        ntx=1,irest=0,ntrx=1,
        ntxo=1,ntpr=500,ntwr=500,ntwx=500,ntwv=0,ntwe=0,iwrap=1,
        ntf=2,ntc=2,dt=0.002,
            scnb=8.0,scee=1.2,
        cut=12,ntb=2,
        ntp=2,taup=0.2,pres0=1.0,plevel=2,
        ntt=1,temp0=100,tempi=3,ig=3455476,tautp=1.0
&end
Lipid Constraints

ATOM 1 5888
END
END

The box is orthogonal, so I don't understand what other problem there could
be. Please help.

Thank you,
