​First look at the output from the complex calculation
(_MMPBSA_complex_gb.mdout.0; or pb instead of gb if this is a PB
calculation). Is there an error message there?

Also, if you give MMPBSA.py a solvated prmtop, it automatically strips all
water *and* ions from the trajectory. If you have not changed strip_mask
in the &general section to keep the important Ca2+ ions, then your
calculation will fail.
