Hi Emanuele,
Can you define slow? If an energy+force calculation takes around 1 minute, then you can get 1,440 steps/day = approximately 1.5 ps/day assuming a 1fs time step. Depending on the QM method and basis set you this could be a bit faster or (much) slower.
All the best,
Andy

> Thank Gustavo for replying. I moved on, basically the Li+ atoms were included in "file.mol2", and it didn't work. But now I let AMBER add Li+ around the molecule " addIons2 mol LI 27" , so that my the topology file had charge 24+ ( because the molecule has charge 3-). And , using adjust_q=2, the system is now neutralized and the calculation is running fine. However, I am using AMBER(serial) with ORCA( 24-CPUs) and it is really slow? Do you have any idea how to get it faster? I am treating the molecule at QM , and the Li at MM. Here is my "file.in" 300K constant temp QMMMMD &cntrl imin=0, ntb=1 cut=8.0, ntc=2, ntf=2, tempi=300.0, temp0=300.0, ntt=3, gamma_ln=1.0, nstlim=1000, dt=0.002, ntpr=1, ntwx=1,ifqnt=1 / &qmmm qmmask='.1-53', qmcharge=0, spin=2, qm_theory='EXTERN', ! Use external QM program qmshake=1, writepdb=1, adjust_q=2, qm_ewald=0, qm_pme=1 / &orc use_template=1 / Best regards, Emanuele 2018-07-31 13:12 GMT+01:00 Gustavo Seabra : > Hi, > > > > > AFAIK, Sander will only add link atoms in places where it needs to break a > bond between QM and MM regions.
