the mm pbsa analysis is a post analysis, so you have to seperate the snapshots
and than recalculate it with sander. If the simulation is done with sander or
pmemd doesn`t matter, the only difference is than pmemd is faster ;)
A small hint before starting mm pbsa analysis: It is faster to transfer the
trajectory to your wanted snapshot frequency (normally every 25 or 50ps),
before starting mm pbsa analysis.

Florian
