Re: [AMBER] Virtual box with imin = 1 or imin = 5

It seems it's trying to use ewald when imin=5, in case it helps debug /
work around  - is there another flag that also turns off ewald?

Not a real Molecular Dietician, I just play one on the net.

And sometime, it does not work because during the minimization process it seems that one of the atoms is going beyond the virtual box. But if I isolate this particular frame and run again the minimization with imin = 1, it goes through without any problem. Why?
