[gmx-users] Problem in extending simulation with state.cpt while changing number of cores

[Mark Abraham]

Please always report at least your GROMACS version!

tpbconv does not take a -cpi argument, so if that is really your command
line, then it is not doing what you think it is doing. Then mdrun has no
option but to re-start from the only frame it knows about - the one from
which you originally started.
