Re: [AMBER] MMPBSA error in AmberTools 12 --- TrajError: Solvated topology 0 has IFBOX == 0

What is your command line argument to run MMPBSA.py?

The error means that MMPBSA.py is looking for solvent box information in
the solvated topology files, but could not find it. This means that the
solvated topology file (using the -sp flag) you provided did not have
information about the periodic box. If you want MMPBSA.py to strip out the
water molecules from a solvated topology file then you will need to provide
a topology file that has this box information.
