Hi Jason,

I have tested the sander in amber9 and it gives the same problem with the
same input inpcrd and prmtop.

>From my opinion, I think the error is from the input inpcrd and prmtop.

Initially, I have prepared inpcrd and prmtop of pure water box from sleap
and the NPT simulation is good with density around 1 in 50 ps with sander
in amber9. However it is slow and it doesn't work with pmemd.amoeba.MPI in
amber 12. The error is :
| New format PARM file being parsed.
| Version = 1.000 Date = 05/22/06 Time = 12:10:21
| ERROR: Amoeba code expects prmtop to specify only one Amber atom type
(ntypes)!

Another problem is I can not prepare the inpcrd and prmtop by sleap if I
want to simulation a water box with a ion inside. It always give errors. So
I switch to use tinker and amoeba_parm to prepare input file. But I got the
problem as I report in the previous email.

It seems that someone can prepare the inpcrd and prmtop by sleap with ions
and there is a tutorial. But I didn't find it. If you know, please send me
a link.

Any comments is welcome.

Have a nice day and thanks.

Best,
Cheng
