Try reading the mdcrd file in with cpptraj. How many frames does it
suggest exist? If it disagrees with VMD, the likely culprit is that you
picked the wrong trajectory type (e.g., you didn't pick the version with
box when you should have). Another possibility is that a particle drifted
too far away and corrupted your whole mdcrd file (you can determine if this
happened by looking for * characters in your mdcrd file).
Some suggestions for future simulations:
- use ioutfm=1 to specify NetCDF trajectories (VMD can read these). This
is actually the default in Amber 16, since they are better than ASCII
trajectories in just about every way
- use iwrap=1 to wrap coordinates back to the central unit cell (this will
prevent coordinates from getting too large in very long simulations). As
long as you use ioutfm=1, this isn't necessary unless you run *very* long
simulations (microsecond+ time scales)
