Re: [AMBER] Nonbond Energy for Single Water Molecule ?

Two questions:
1) What does your mdin file look like?
2) What version of sander are you using?

I can't reproduce this with AMBER14. I copied your tleap script verbatim
and used the following mdin:

 snglpnt
 &cntrl
   nstlim = 0, igb = 6
 /

The result is as expected:

NSTEP = 0 TIME(PS) = 0.000 TEMP(K) = 0.00 PRESS =
0.0
 Etot = 0.0000 EKtot = 0.0000 EPtot =
0.0000
 BOND = 0.0000 ANGLE = 0.0000 DIHED =
0.0000
 1-4 NB = 0.0000 1-4 EEL = 0.0000 VDWAALS =
0.0000
 EELEC = 0.0000 EGB = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you turn on PBCs somehow?

Regards,
Brian
