Re: [AMBER] Energy overflow in MD with distance restraint under PBC (aMD problem?)

Thanks for the answer. I just wanted to inform in case there's someone else
doing something similar, that I tried checking what happens if I record the
energies and distances for each step after the restart. Indeed the
restraints seem to be the reason behind the crash. I tried to rerun the
simulations from scratch without iwrap and they seem to work, but I still
have problems with aMD, so I will try a different approach.
