Re: [AMBER] First to Second Frame Position Jump

Hi,

It's still not clear to me that you actually have a problem. The
energy in the plot you attached does increase a bit at step 102 but
then looks like it settles down and is nice and steady. Does your
density appear to be equilibrating? If your previous simulation was
done with constant volume but the density was not properly
equilibrated you could see such a jump upon switching to constant
pressure.

If you really want to see what's going on with your system around the
time of the energy jump you should restart it and run for 1000 steps
only, but write your trajectory and output every 10 steps (or even
every single step).
