Re: [AMBER] TI Job crashes at some lambda values during heating

Ya,after visualizing the mdcrd files of for the lambda values for which the
job is getting crashed, I observed that the ligand is blowing out of the
water box and also the structure of the ligand is destroyed completely.
Also, how can I restart the job using charge annihilation step, as the lamba
values for the two steps are not identical?
For this I thing I will have to setup charge annihilation step for lambda
value 0.56262 and take it further to vdw decoupling step.
Kindly guide me.
