[gmx-users] Dividing an MD run

[Guillem Prats Ejarque]

So, If I have an mdrun running now, but I didn't set in this run an -cpo flag, I cannot continue from the last point of this run?

This is probably a stupid question, but, to resubmit it starting from the point where I left it, do I only have to run the MD again with the output files of the previous one, like this?

Once you've created the .tpr file, all you need to do is add -cpi -append to
your mdrun command to load from the last checkpoint.  Nothing more to it.  You
can also use -maxh to ensure a clean exit when you hit the wallclock limit.  The
continuation from the checkpoint is exact.
