Thanks Matias and Carlos for your responses.

Yes, that's right, I didn't source the solvent.lib. I think, I managed to
generate a prmtop and inpcrd files for my system, but now I'm having
problem with running the simulation.
Out of curiosity, I just wanted to check, how the water model will affect
the protein itself and the water molecules behaviour. So I want to change
only the water model used in particular simulation and see what's happen.
In the Amber manual I've found an information, that PMEMD does not support
polarizable force fields, so I've changed to sander. I've also saw that I
need to include ipol=1 option.
I'm attaching my heat.in script. Am I missing something?

# 10ps equilibration with 1fs timestep Langevin dynamics

Thanks again for your help!
