Re: [AMBER] MBAR energies when using soft-core potential in pmemd TI

Are you using ifmbar_net = 1 (not default)? The "star output" certainly
indicates large numbers, but perhaps not always as large as one thinks. The
net keyword switches to printing differences, which are the actual MBAR
input and generally quite a bit smaller.

HTH,
