Dear Case

Thanks for your reply.

Did you look at the output file from the second group? both of output files
are the same.

In tutorial that I use (A9). nstlim = 25000, ntpr = 2500, and not
nstlim=10, ntpr=1.

my group file:

-O -i free_1_eq_v0_0.1.in -p free_tg_2_v0_0.1.prmtop -c
free_tg_1_min_v0_0.1.rst -o free_tg_1_eq_v0_0.1.out -x
free_tg_1_eq_v0_0.1.mdcrd -r free_tg_1_eq_v0_0.1.rst
-O -i free_1_eq_v1_0.1.in -p free_tg_2_v1_0.1.prmtop -c
free_tg_1_min_v1_0.1.rst -o free_tg_1_eq_v1_0.1.out -x
free_tg_1_eq_v1_0.1.mdcrd -r free_tg_1_eq_v1_0.1.rst

my command line:

mpirun -np 4 /home/md/amber10/bin/sander.MPI -ng 2 -groupfile
free_1_eq_0.1.group &

I want to equilibrate first at constant volume, then later at constant
pressure.

are my equilibration input files for equilibration at constant volume? if
not, how to modify those?

free_1_eq_v0_0.1
 &cntrl
 imin = 0, ntx = 1, irest = 0,
 ntpr = 1000, ntwr = 1000, ntwx = 0,
 ntf = 2, ntc = 2,
 ntb = 2, cut = 10.0,
 nstlim = 250000, dt = 0.002,
 temp0 = 300.0, ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 5,
 ntp = 1, pres0 = 1.0, taup = 0.2,
 icfe = 1, clambda = 0.1,
 ifsc = 0,
 crgmask =""
 scmask =""
 /

 ntpr = 1000, ntwr = 1000, ntwx = 0,
 ntf = 2, ntc = 2,
 ntb = 2, cut = 10.0,
 nstlim = 250000, dt = 0.002,
 temp0 = 300.0, ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 5,
 ntp = 1, pres0 = 1.0, taup = 0.2,
 icfe = 1, clambda = 0.1,
 ifsc = 0,
 crgmask = '.269,271,273,274,275,553,555,556,557'
 scmask =""
 /

Try a standard run (with ifce=0). what is yor mean? icfe?

When I use nstlim=10, ntpr=1 in input files, job stopped in NSTEP=2.

output is as follows:

Be sure to use a short simulation, say nstlim=10 and
ntpr=1. Look at the test cases that are similar to yours, and try to
slowly change their input files to yours. Should I close my input condition
gradual?
