Re: [AMBER] umbrella sampling

Dear Elisa, I have been experimenting with umbrella sampling lately,
using GPUs, and I found that it's not possible to use pmemd.cuda with
nmropt=1 and ntr=1 at the same time. It just stops, without any clear
error message. But this was solved as soon as I changed to use sander
(I don't remember now, but maybe it also works fine with pmemd).

So, I think your choices are:
1) use sander (or, maybe, pmemd), or
2) use GPUs, but you should try to figure out a way to combine your
restraints so that you end up using only nmropt or ntr, but not both.

Regards,

Ignacio
