Re: [AMBER] QMMM: ERROR!

Hi Ayesha,

It looks like the minimizer got very close. Sometimes it just doesn't quite make it to the tolerances needed.

You can try mimizing things separately with sqm (outside of antechamber) with scfconv=1.d-8. Then take the final structure from that and use it for your input to antechamber.

Alternatively update to AmberTools15 which has loosened the default antechamber SQM convergence criteria slightly and in your case the SCF should then converge.

All the best
Ross
