Re: [AMBER] pmemd and sander simulations different - sander equilibration crashes

I want to add that I am using a polarizable force field and POL3 water
model.
When I look at the output under Control Data for the Run, the only
difference I see is that in sander I also have this (I'm not sure if this
would mean anything) :

Polarizable options:

     indmeth = 3, maxiter = 20, irstdip = 0, scaldip =
  1

     diptau = 11.00000, dipmass = 0.33000


Also I am using different versions of AMBER for both.
