Re: [AMBER] Open MPI failure

After examining my restart files and carefully checking the Amber 12
manual, I concluded that it is several lines in specific restart files that
are the problem and that turning "iwrap" on could potentially solve the
problem. The Amber 12 manual says that turning this tag on doesn't
influence the forces and velocities, but I am concerned it could influence
my analysis, especially since I will be turning on the tag mid-simulation.
Could someone provide a comprehensive explanation of "iwrap"?

Thanks,
David
