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

Your solvated topology file lacks any information to tell Amber that it has
a solvent box. The IFBOX variable is set to 0 (see
http://ambermd.org/formats.html), there is no BOX_DIMENSIONS,
ATOMS_PER_MOLECULE, or SOLVENT_POINTERS sections to the topology file.
 Therefore, this topology file never should have worked for Amber
simulations with ntb=1 or ntb=2.

IFBOX provides information about what kind of box the system has (e.g.,
orthogonal or truncated octahedron), and therefore indicates how imaging
should be done. Since MMPBSA.py can't determine any box information from
the solvated topology file, and therefore can't determine how to image the
system, it quits with an error, since it doesn't trust the topology file.

In my experience, I've never seen a topology file created with "solvateoct"
generate a topology file with IFBOX==0, so I'm not sure how your topology
file came from the commands you gave. Did you modify your topology file in
any way? If not, can you attach the files necessary to generate your
topology file in tleap?

Thanks!
Jason
