Re: [AMBER] Please help with - closestwater - problem - problem is connected with NETCDF format

Hello again,

it seems that problem was connected with usage of NETCDF format.

If I use RST or ASCI MDCRD format to save my intermediate product ( system
with 50 closest waters to ANS molecules)
then also second step B) is OK and I obtain desired final result.

On the other hand if I use as the container for my intermediate MDCRD in
NETCDF format (as I originally did), the second step (B) is
unsuccessful.

I uploaded here:

http://physics.ujep.cz/~mmaly/AMBER/

final fig SUCCESS.tiff as well as intermediate PRMTOP file (
With50ClosestWaters.prmtop ) to allow you
easily verify what I am saying.

It seems that routine "closestwater" might have in some cases problem with
NETCDF format,
at least speaking about AmberTools 1.4.

    Best wishes,

       Marek
