Dear Jason, thank you very much for you reply.
I am using Amber12 and the MMPBSA.py module. I first considered adding
the parameters of HW to the mdread.F90 file, but I believe that may no
be the source of the problem, because when I use only one water molecule
(which also has the HW atom type), the calculation finishes without any
problem. When retaining 2 o more water molecules this problem arises.
Also, I think that the missing parameters would also affect calculation
on the complex, but they seem to crash when the receptor components is
computed. I checked, and all water molecues are asigned the same atom type.
To clearly demonstrate the problem yesterday I sent a mail with the
files attached but they havent been approved by the moderator yet.
Thank you very much for your support
