Subject: AMBER: Amber crashes at simulation in the NVT ensemble with the periodic box equiilbrated in the NPT ensemble.

Dear Amber Users,

Could you be so kind as to help me in the following situation:

I solvated some peptide in water by AMBER 8 solvatebox command, performed minimixation and equilibration (1 ns) in the NVT-ensemble at 298 K. Then, I performed eqilibration in the NPT ensemble at 1 atm for rather long time (1 ns). Now I want to use the box obtained in NVT simulations at 305 K. However, when I run such simulation Amber crashes without giving any error message except for the batch system message like that below:

The output (if any) follows:

[0] MPI Abort by user Aborting program !
[0] Aborting program!
p0_14987: p4_error: : 1

Is it possible to use NPT-simulated box in the NVT-simulations in Amber? Could the use of IWRAP option during NPT simulations help? Can long equlibration times in NVT and NPT simulations play its role in the situation above?

I would be grateful for any help.

Thanks in advance,

Sergey
