Re: [AMBER] output nuclear force and hessian

Still, to my knowledge, there is no analytical Hessian implemented anywhere
in sander or pmemd (can someone verify this?).

Getting a numerical Hessian can of course be done by finite differencing,
but at the expense of 3N or 6N additional force evaluations (N being the
number of atoms). It might be easier to do this by setting ntwr to a
negative value and regularly saving structures to be post-processed. Our
group set up a rather hasty set of Python scripts to do this and many of
the (decidedly more polished) core tools are or will be available in future
versions of AmberTools.

Regards,
Brian
