Re: [AMBER] residue stripping in ptraj

Hi,

When processing the stripped trajectory you are currently using the
original topology file (3438 atoms), which after stripping no longer
matches (since you now have 2964 atoms in the stripped trajectory).
You need to generate a topology file that matches your output (2964
atom) trajectory.
