Re: [AMBER] vlimit and shake

I wouldn't vary vlimit. If the vlimit is being reached consistently it
means something went wrong. I would probably attribute it to an imperfect
reimaging. You'll probably have to re-heat your system and re-equilibrate
it rather than using the pre-imaging velocities. Visualizing your system
would definitely help tell you what's going on. Another thing you can do is
take one of your .rst files that's not corrupted and re-run that part of the
calculation with iwrap=1 (i'm assuming amber8 has it, i've never used that
version).

Good luck!
