Re: [AMBER] AmberTools14 MMPBSA CalcError with complex.prmtop and SA Bomb in use_sander=1

Looks like there is not enough memory on your compute node to compute
the expensive SES surface for PB …

If the error goes away when you set space = 1.0 (i.e. 1 Angstrom
instead of 0.5 Angstrom), it'd confirm my guess.

All the best,
Ray
