[gmx-users] extend a simulation just with xtc file

[Johnny Lu]

the position in xtc is not accurate enough for restarting simulation. xtc
has no velocity.

restart need position, velocity, and variables for the thermostat and
barostat.

Do you have any cpt file? may be you can run a restart using cpt and tpr
files.
