[gmx-developers] how to extend a run using tpbconv?

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

Extending is only required if you want more steps then you initially set 
in your mdp file.

The procedure is to first modify only nsteps in your tpr file and then 
continue from the checkpoint file:
1 tpbconv -s old -extend (or -until or -nsteps) -o new
2 mdrun -s new -cpi file.cpt
