Hi,

You could always post-process your trajectories using 'sander' and the
namelist variable 'imin=5'. See the manual for full details.

But I cannot get the internal energy out of solvated trajectory since it is dominated by solvent contribution from the individual water molecules. So I strip water molecules from the trajectory and run GB/SA.
