Re: [AMBER] Issues with Umbrella Sampling Simulations involving lipid bilayer

I don't currently have the bandwidth to backport patches to older versions of amber. You can try porting update.13 backwards to amber 16 as I wrote that patch a few days after the thread listed below: https://ambermd.org/bugfixes/18.0/update.13

I would just make the changes to nmr_calls.F90, which is a simple 8 line addition.

HTH,
Charlie

    Just for reference of the Mailing list:

    The files were checked with pmemd.cuda in amber16 and amber18, reproducing
    the error in amber16 but not in amber18. I think this is then related to
    the update done in amber 18 regarding COM restraints and the way the
    simulation box is split in GPUs (http://archive.ambermd.org/201903/0103.html),
    but maybe Charlie can comment on that (on CC). Is there any way of porting
    this patch to amber16?
    Cheers,
