[AMBER] problem with MM/PB(GB)SA (Geng Dong)

Dear all,

I have been trying to run MMPBSA.py on AMBER18 using one core and I am confused with two problems showed below.
The first question is about the GBSA. GB calculation failed with PL.prmtop (protein with ligand). The calcerror showed the cpptraj failed with prmtop PL.prmtop, which was quite similar to a problem showed by Jag I saw on your website http://archive.ambermd.org/201602/0177.html. I checked the output file(_MMPBSA_complex_gb.mdout.0) and it printed MM/GBSA processing done! It stopped on this step and I found the value of esurf is zero indicating the surface area was failing in cpptraj as you had said on the amber mailing. In the end I still cannot find what reason caused this problem and how to solve it.

Information in detail:
Loading and checking parameter files for compatibility...
mmpbsa_py_energy found! Using /home/Geng/Program/amber18/bin/mmpbsa_py_energy
cpptraj found! Using /home/Geng/Program/amber18/bin/cpptraj
Preparing trajectories for simulation...
50 frames were processed by cpptraj for use in calculation.

Running calculations on normal system...

Beginning GB calculations with /home/Geng/Program/amber18/bin/mmpbsa_py_energy
  calculating complex contribution...
  File "/home/Geng/Program/amber18/bin/MMPBSA.py", line 100, in <module>
    app.run_mmpbsa()

    self.calc_list.run(rank, self.stdout)
  File "/home/Geng/Program/amber18/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MMPBSA_mods/calculation.py", line 82, in run
    calc.run(rank, stdout=stdout, stderr=stderr)
  File "/home/Geng/Program/amber18/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MMPBSA_mods/calculation.py", line 478, in run
    self.prmtop))
CalcError: /home/Geng/Program/amber18/bin/cpptraj failed with prmtop PL.prmtop!
Exiting. All files have been retained.


The second question is about the PB. According to the description of Jag, I also calculated PB alone and it succeeded as well while the result (MMPBSA.dat) was quite weird comparing to a normal one. The energy difference of BOND was quite large and the result of ANGLE was nan.

Could you give me some suggestions?

I would be very grateful for your help.
