Re: [AMBER] imin = 5, expected numerical error when re-calculating energy

Why are all of your energy terms 0 except nonbondeds?

Also, the snapshots from the trajectory will be a time step ahead of the
energies in the mdout file (because energies are calculated, coordinates
updated, and then printing is done), so I wouldn't expect the energies to
match up exactly.

If you want to verify actual energies, you should print snapshots every
frame and then compare the energies from imin=5 on snapshot i to the
energies in the mdout on step i+1. That should give you a better estimate
(I'm not sure if I made sense just there...)

All the best,
Jason
