Hi David,
Thanks for the suggestions.
If I run PMEMD.MPI, sometimes the heating started for a few steps and die. For PMEMD.CUDA, it sometimes die at the beginning. Here is the output from minimization and start of heating:

Energy minimization:
NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER
   5214 -1.5853E+05 4.6706E+01 8.2567E+03 HB2 1631

 BOND = 6923.8637 ANGLE = 1092.5932 DIHED = 4959.0141
 VDWAALS = 12825.5765 EEL = -215473.5524 HBOND = 0.0000
 1-4 VDW = 11265.8123 1-4 EEL = 19879.2193 RESTRAINT = 0.0000
 
Heating:
 
NSTEP = 0 TIME(PS) = 0.000 TEMP(K) = 0.00 PRESS = 0.0
 Etot = -164877.0775 EKtot = 0.0000 EPtot = -164877.0775
 BOND = 624.2695 ANGLE = 1092.5932 DIHED = 4959.0141
 1-4 NB = 11265.8123 1-4 EEL = 19879.2193 VDWAALS = 12761.0383
 EELEC = -215459.0242 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT = 0.0000
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 NMR restraints: Bond = 0.000 Angle = 0.000 Torsion = 0.000

It seems the bond energy change dramatically between the two files.

I am now running the same heating script with vlimit=10. For both PMEMD.MPI and PMEMD.CUDA, the heating step finished ok. But the output shows lots of velocity exceeding 10, even in thousands. I wonder if this will help find the cause.

Best,

Zizhang

The simulations without glycans but with identical MD parameters are all good. The glycan I added is MAN3 from Glycam. Tleap did not show any error. I also tried with the vlimit=20 option suggested in previous threads but run into the same error. I also tried with pmem.cuda and pmem.MPI, they all give the same error. The GPU card is 1080Ti. I wonder if anyone has the similar issue when simulating glycoprotein.
