Dear CHAMBER developers:
I tried to compare energy in AMBER and CHARMM under PBC. My workflow is:
1. created psf and pdb in CHARMM with c36 FF
2. use CHAMBER to generate prmtop and inpcrd
3. run one step energy calculation in CHARMM and pmemd under PBC using PME,
compare energy. cut=9 in AMBER, cton=ctoff=9, cutoff=12 in CHARMM
Result:
I tried several systems and VDW energy is significantly differently under
PBC in all cases. But VDW energy is exactly the same in vacumm without
PBC(in another thread).
I provided one output of energy calculation under PBC:

Please also note the difference in dihedrals
I understand that VDW energy is sensitive to cutoff, but can anybody
explain the HUGE and significant difference in VDW energy? I am really
puzzled.
