[gmx-users] Re: electrostatic and vdw energies from snapshots

[Mauricio Pablo Sica]

Maybe it is an obvious observation, but reruns are not as time consuming 
as original runs. If I'm not wrong, as snapshots are generally saved 
every 2500-10000 time-steps, reruns are 2500-10000 faster than original 
runs.

So, maybe a simple rerun with new 'energygrps' is your option.

Additionally, I don’t think that minimized snapshots are very 
representative of the energy of a run. 

Cheers
