[AMBER] use_template = 0

Hi everyone,


I was going through the amber16 manual and I have found that this


use_template Determine whether or not to use a user-provided template file for running external programs. (De- fault: use_template = 0)


It seems a little bit unclear to me as 0 means it will use a user-provided template or 1 means it will use a user-provided template?



As I am using a script for minimization


cat > mdin << EOF
Minimization of B4M_QM_MM all atoms
&cntrl
  imin=1, maxcyc=1000,
  ntc=1, ntf=1, ntb=1, ntpr=5,
  ifqnt=1
/
&qmmm
  iqmatoms= ****
  qmcharge=0,
  qm_theory='EXTERN',
  qmshake=0,
  spin=1,
  qm_ewald=0, qm_pme=0,
  diag_routine=0,
  writepdb=1
/
&gau
  mem = ‘25GB’
  method = ‘B3LYP’,
  basis = ‘6-31G**‘,
  num_threads = 16,
  use_template = 0,
/
EOF




If I use use_template = 1, then my minimization crashes but it works well with use_template = 0,




Another question that I have is


As in my script I have given


  mem = ‘25GB’
  method = ‘B3LYP’,
  basis = ‘6-31G**‘,

but amber greates a gau_job.inp which has
%chk=gau_job.chk
%NProcShared=16
%mem=256MB
#P BLYP/6-31G* SCF=(Conver=8) NoSymm Force Charge Prop=(Field,Read)

I have mentioned 25GB in my script still it is using 256MB and basis that I have given is 6-31G** but I can see it is applying 6-31G*


Moreover if I want to tell amber to use something else rather than


#P BLYP/6-31G* SCF=(Conver=8) NoSymm Force Charge Prop=(Field,Read)


How do I tell it and make certain changes in my script.



I will really appreciate any suggestion.


Thanking you,

-ABhishek
