Dear David and all,
This seems like a very large number of frames and thus bring some questions
to mind.
At present I have 2000 frames for a 40 ns simulation, thus what would you
recommend?
To decrease the ntwx from the current 10000 to maybe 100. This would give
200,000 frames (and a huge traj file ~ 100 GB).
Or run a longer MD simulation (e.g. 100 ns) and keep ntwx=100 to get
500,000 frames and > 200 GB file.
How does the calculation scale with such larger traj files? For 2000
frames it took 2.195 hr.

I got the following numbers after analyzing 2, 200, 400 and all 2000 frames
from the current 40 ns traj.
From this data, can one expect/predict that having a very large number of
frames (as you suggested) will decrease the total DS to realistic values?
In the tutorial for nmode (here
<http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial3/py_script/section5.htm>)
it is mentioned that temperature is included in the reported DS value, but
such info is not clear from the output for quasi-harmonic calculation.

Also, it will be helpful if you can suggest how to troubleshoot the mode
calculation especially in the absence of useful error messages.
Looking forward to your valuable suggestions on these aspects.
thank you and best regards.
