Dear Geng,

Looks like there is a mismatch between the prmtop file and the
water-free trajectory files for the molecule termed "PL". You can
visualize these files with VMD to confirm this.

All the best,
Ray

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.
