Re: [AMBER] error **** in output file with wrapping first molecule on GPU

Hi,

Could you give the results of the following command on our mdout file:
egrep 'NSTEP|wrapping first mol' mdout
This should output the NSTEP line as well as when it does the wrapping
to see if this happens suddenly or not.
Thanks,

Gerald.
