Re: [AMBER] Regarding maximum molecular system size

Hello,
The create .mdcrd file I used below command.

trajin md.nc 1 10000 10
trajout md_1.mdcrd crd

I am not aware if it is autoimage.
However upon looking inside those created files I get below coordinates. Box size 74*74*75
>Cpptraj Generated trajectory
>-416.730-101.326 -63.637-416.090-100.840 -62.850-416.804-100.678 -64.539-416.217
Is there a better way to create mdcrd file from .nc files ??

As a wild guess, this might be an imaging problem. Have you used autoimage
in cpptraj to pack things back into a single unit cell?

The pdb format does not permit more than 10,000 residues, since the residue
number column is only 4-characters wide. This is only a problem with that
format, and (depending on use) is often not a problem. The limitation has
nothing to do with Amber, but with an limited (and deprecated) format that
was created in the 1970's.
