Dear Case,<br/><br/> Firstly, for a standard simulation with QM/MM Hamiltonian, it can terminate correctly.<br/><br/> Then, for the TI simulation, when the build-in semi-empirical PM3 method replace the external B3LYP method, the calculation can also terminate correctly.<br/><br/> For the TI calculation by sander.MPI, two groups will run in parallel. However, they use the files with the same name "extern_location" in the same directory. Maybe it is this reason that causes the error.
