Dear Amber Users:

Greetings. I have a problem when I run a pure water box with
pmemd.amoeba.MPI in Amber12.

It is a system with 216 waters (Using watersmall.xyz in Tinker website as
the starting structure)

The input files (prmtop and inpcrd) were prepared with tinker4.3 following
the procedure in
$AMBERHOME/src/pmemd.amoeba/build_amoeba/examples/Organic_liquids/README


I have run the minimization, NPT at 10 K ( this is OK for density) , NVT
to heat the system to 300K then NPT for production (Problem happened here)

The following is for NPT at 300 K

mdin file is the same as in test $AMBERHOME/test/amoeba_wat2/nptverlet

The density is keeping decreasing. In addition, if I keeping running to 1
ns. The density will around 0.02 or something..

I am not sure what is problem.Any comment is welcome.

Best,

Cheng
