[AMBER] ntx value for MMPBSA normal mode analysis

Dear Amber Users,

I am using mm_pbsa.pl version now and have a error message during
normal mode analysis.

After I generated snapshots from my MD simulations (Results are
stable), I could calculate PB and GB solvation energy with successful
energy decomposition.

However, when I tried to calculate entropy terms, nmode input files
indicated "ntx = 0".

Since my coordinate files are formated, calculation stops very
beginning.

Even when I set ntx = 1 in mm_pbsa input file as following, nmode
input files which are automatically generated by mm_pbsa.pl still have
ntx = 0.

.NM
#
# Parameters for sander/nmode calculation (this section is only
relevant if NM = 1 above)
#
# The following parameters are passed to sander (for minimization)
and nmode
# (for entropy calculation using gasphase statistical mechanics).
# For further details see documentation.
#
# DIELC - (Distance-dependent) dielectric constant
# MAXCYC - Maximum number of cycles of minimization.
# DRMS - Convergence criterion for the energy gradient.
#
DIELC 4
MAXCYC 1000
DRMS 0.1
NTX 1
#

Isn't default value of ntx for normal mode 1? I'm wondering if there
is a way I can make nmode input files have ntx as 1.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
