Hello Carlos

I am trying a run with tap 0.1 to see what happens. I am just surprised as the other two systems using ff14SB and spce or tip3p water equilibrates as expected.

I am also puzzled as to why the “process_min" and “process_md" scripts fail to extract data from energy minimisation and pressure equilibration for the ff19sb/opc system and not for the ff14sb/spce/tip3p systems, while working for extracting temperature data.

I realised that I am setting up the systems using amber/ambertools20 while running the simulations on amber18. Still, there are no reported errors or warnings and the equilibration finished producing what seems to be normal output. Maybe there is some minor shift in the alignment of the output that I am not noticing which is causing the scripts to fail extracting the correct data.

Best regards
// Gustaf
