Hi Ray,

It would be great if we could understand where these differences come
from ...I looked at all parameters from my customized MDIN file (which I
attached to my original mail below) and I did not notice any change
between Amber 12 and Amber 16 in terms of the meaning of the values
(hope I did not miss anything). I am now doing the same calculation
with Amber 14 as well to see if the difference came between Amber 12 and
Amber 14 or between Amber 14 to Amber 16 ...

On a side note, the calculation is much faster with Amber 16 comparing
to Amber 14 ... Is that to be expected ?

Thanks for looking into this
Vlad
