thanks, but I still have question about pmemd run
here I attached again the modified input and output of pmemd (amber 9), please help me to figure out what is wrong over there.
>From the output file, I found that the ibelly groups were read in, and the MD got started, but still something is wrong over there when compare the energy terms of the first step in output file with those in the output of sander runs for the same system.
and after several steps, it stoped.

so even the ibeely group was read in, but I donot know how it was parsed.
