Dear Jason and Amber Users

In my simulation box I have Urea and Water and now I want to calculate the
average Interaction energy between Urea_Urea, Urea_Water and Water_Water.

For this I process the trajectory to get Average Interaction Energy as
Jason suggested me to used the pairwise command from cpptraj.

By this method I am able to reproduce the average interaction energy of
water_water but fail to reproduce the Average interaction energy between
urea_urea and urea_water.

I given the input for cpptraj.

The output file for Urea_Urea

       4 -175.4758 4346.7265
       5 -185.3734 4374.9934

    2496 -167.5771 4325.8357
    2497 -163.5134 4351.2010
    2498 -179.8482 4369.4136
    2499 -169.7458 4278.9632
    2500 -166.5782 4314.6092
...............................................................................................................

After switch off the cutoff value and the output value is giving same.

Here I am unable to understand why Urea_Urea Interaction energy have
positive value and vander wall have negative value ?

Does I am doing any here ?

Thank you in advanced

Rahman
