Hi there,

I tried to perform FEP calculations based on the tutorial https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial9/index.html#run_TI.
During the TI simulation (for pmemd} that was divided for 101 windows (with lambda value between 0.00 - 1.00 with 0,01 step) we observed that for some frames values for DV/DL did not appear in the output. My question would be why such an event would occur and if there is anything that can be done to have the full record of DV/DL in each window.

Below, the examples from a chosen window for frames where DV/DL was not and was recorded:
