Re: [AMBER] Some error in output file and restart

Hi Kirtana,

The *'s mean the value is too big to print in the space provided. In this
case your VDW energy is huge suggesting one of three things:

1) Your have a bad structure, atoms too close for example - what was the
final energy from the sander run?

2) Your restraint energy is also huge - perhaps you are restraining to an
innapropriate reference structure?

3) There is a bug in the code.

Firstly I am assuming you are running the minimization with the CPU
version of the code and then switching to the GPU version for the
dynamics? - If not then start by doing this. The SPFP precision model is
very intolerant of strained structures and thus I recommend that one
always minimizes with the CPU code.

For the dynamics set ntpr=1, nstlim=100, ntwx=1 - then run it and you will
be able to see what goes wrong at the beginning and visualize it. Note
tautp in your mdin file has no effect with ntt=3.

Finally check what version of the GPU code you are running (printed early
on in mdout) - make sure it is fully up to date. It should be 14.0 for
AMBER 14 and 12.3.1 for AMBER 12.

All the best
Ross
