Dear Amber users,

when I ran the 1st stage of heating simulation from 0 to 100K,

the ultimate temperature didn't surpass 12K.
Here are the last steps from output file:

NSTEP = 19950 TIME(PS) = 9.975 TEMP(K) = 11.36 PRESS =
0.0
 Etot = -8576.1998 EKtot = 92.4017 EPtot =
-8668.6016
 BOND = 134.2874 ANGLE = 457.9412 DIHED =
2215.2082
 1-4 NB = 655.3423 1-4 EEL = 7913.8875 VDWAALS =
-1791.1388
 EELEC = -14827.7755 EGB = -3426.3539 RESTRAINT =
0.0000

 EELEC = 72.7734 EGB = 71.7080 RESTRAINT =

and the input file was:

Stage 1 heating of Endonuc 0 to 100K
 &cntrl
  imin=0, irest=0, ntx=1,
  nstlim=20000, dt=0.0005,
  ntc=2, ntf=2,
  ntt=3, ig=-1,gamma_ln=0.01,
  tautp=1.0,
  tempi=0.0, temp0=100.0,
  ntpr=50, ntwx=50,
  ntb=0, igb=1,
  cut=999.,rgbmax=999.
 /

The molecule is a protein, 200 aa long.
Could you please explain me why the desired temperature hasn't been reached?

Kind regards,
Nick
