[AMBER] Question about proper usage of pysander

Hi there,

I’m interested in asking pysander for the atomistic forces on my system (part of interfacing AMBER with ForceBalance). I think I have some options set incorrectly, because the electrostatic energy and forces are currently nan. These inputs and outputs come from a box of 1000 methanol molecules where I’ve already confirmed using sander / pmemd that MD simulations are fine.

It’s worth mentioning that all of the energy terms match sander, except for the vdWaals term which is around -2360 in sander (only around -1000 from pysander).

Thanks a lot,

- Lee-Ping

PS: I can’t find the pysander documentation, so if anyone knows where it is please let me know.

Input:
-----
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sander

inpcrd = sander.Rst7("amber-eq.restrt")
opts = sander.InputOptions()
opts.ntb=1
opts.ntc=1
opts.ntf=1
opts.cut=8.0
opts.igb=0

sander.setup("amber.prmtop", inpcrd.coordinates, inpcrd.box, opts)

e, f = sander.energy_forces()

print("Bond", e.bond)
print("Angle", e.angle)
print("Dihedral", e.dihedral)
print("Electrostatic", e.elec)
print("Electrostatic 1-4", e.elec_14)
print("Improper", e.imp)
print("vdWaals", e.vdw)
print("vdWaals 1-4", e.vdw_14)

Output:
-----
Bond 310.39231708605456
Angle 1837.9438528826322
Dihedral 293.1245935416142
Electrostatic nan
Electrostatic 1-4 inf
Improper 0.0
vdWaals -1006.6764204631056
vdWaals 1-4 -16.26494927531162
