[gmx-users] random seed in molecular dynamics

[Mark Abraham]

gen_vel controls the generation of random velocities. grompp follows it
(but I'd have to check the code to see what it does if you use grompp -t).
tprconv does not follow it.

The random seed is in a different variable, but only does anything if
gen_vel=yes.

I am not sure what the basis of your confusion about repeated calls to
grompp is.
