Re: [AMBER] Minimization fails with a larger solvent box

I don't know what's happening (maybe others here do) but it may help to
provide the Amber version, which MD code you tried (sander, pmemd,
pmemd.cuda etc), if you ran in parallel or not, if the test cases all
passed for your installation, if you have any non-standard force field
libraries, if this is the first minimization after building the system, the
input file that you used, and so on.
