Hi Norman,

You are right: "filename" name was simply put by me, just for posting the
issue here. My parm7 file has actually a different name.

Hence the problem must be in the file itself, but I have generated it
with the latest version of tleap (AmberTools1.5) with all the bugfixes applied.
Moreover the files (coordinates and parameter) work perfectly with
Amber10 software package, that is why I am puzzled about this.

I would really appreciate any further thought.

Best,
