Re: [AMBER] AMBER18 pmemd.cuda running error for divalent metal ions represented using multisite (dummy) atom model with the 12-6-4 LJ potential

Hello Zhicheng,

Thanks for your interest in our work.

In the topology file, the atomic number was set as 1 for the dummy atom, so
the program treat all the dummy atoms as hydrogen atoms, though the vdW
parameters are set ZERO.

You can set the atomic number of the dummy atom as *-1* in the library
file (*.lib). I think it can fix the problem.
Please let me know if it works or not.


All the best,
Qinghua
