Re: [AMBER] ncsu_smd codes with pmemd in Amber 16

Hi, Yao

The SMD in pmemd uses a new &smd input format, so you need to change the
input styles. Check
the new Amber 2017 manual for details.

Also, I think you cannot put the SMD block inside the group block. You
should finish the GROUP definition
first and then write &smd block.

Best
Feng
