[AMBER] Adaptively Biased MD Simulations of type "distance" using "FLOODING"

Dear Amber Users,

Please, kindly help me. I am trying to do Adaptively Biased MD Simulations
of type "distance" using "FLOODING". Although the simulation runs, but it
appears to me that it is not doing Adaptively Biased MD with flooding at
all because I do not see any such information in the amber output file at
all, and 'abmd.txt' and 'umbrella.nc' files were never written to hard
drive.

Since I did not get any error message, it is very hard for me to know what
exactly is wrong. And I think something is not okay because 'abmd.txt' and
'umbrella.nc' files were never written to hard drive.

I have tried AMBER16's pmemd, and pmemd.cuda as well as AMBER14's pmemd,
pmemd.cuda. I got similar behavior in all the cases.

Please, kindly guide me. The content of my input file is shown below. I
also include a section of my output file that contains information about
"control data for the run."


With regards
