Re: [AMBER] Amber 16 does not read the "ncsu_smd" from a QMMM input file

I got one more question! Do you have any suggestions why I am getting this
error?
 QMMM SCC-DFTB: !!!! ============= WARNING ============= !!!!
 QMMM SCC-DFTB: Convergence could not be achieved in this step.
 QMMM SCC-DFTB: The calculation will continue, but energies and
 QMMM SCC-DFTB: forces for this step will not be accurate.
Best Regards,
Sam
