Dear Amber users,
I’ve been running into a persistent problem that I have never really resolved. That when using the MMPBSA.py.MPI script for energy calculations, specifically the nmode entropy calculations part, it very easily gets stuck.
With drms=0.002, maxcyc=1000, I can see that in the nm.out file that gets stuck (usually stuck already by 200ns), the RMSG will go back and forth between a certain value, and never reach the drms value set. Whether maxcyc=1000 or 10000 doesn’t help, it usually gets stuck by iteration 200 or so.
If all frames are good, they finish in an hour or so. When a single frame has this problem, after a few hours, it finishes with an error, but it still saves a result file, minus one (stuck) entropy frame. But there are times when more than one frame is stuck and nothing gets saved after a few hours.
Have others been also getting this problem, frequently? If so, is it the structure problem, or a calculation set up problem?
Many thanks.
