Re: [AMBER] comparing pytraj vs. sander output

Hi,

pytraj uses sander via its Python interface for energy evaluation.
Can you try to use pysander directly and compare to you sander run (so we
know the source of the difference),

Please see below script:

import parmed as pmd
import sander

# make default pme input
inp = sander.pme_input()

# update to your files
parm_file = '../ubiquitin/prmtop'
rst7_file = '../ubiquitin/restrt.save'
parm = pmd.load_file(parm_file, rst7_file)

with sander.setup(parm_file, parm.coordinates, parm.box, mm_options=inp):
    e, f = sander.energy_forces()
    print(e.elec)

# gist: https://gist.github.com/hainm/7614bfdd85094b3670de66b687c4f169

cheers
Hai
