Note the .cpt file is a snap shot file, like a .gro coordinate file. It saves the state of the system at a particular point of time in a manner that you can have an exact restart at that time.
You can still continue from 80ns relatively closely using the appropriate files you already have, you are not starting a "brand new" simulation. You can also join together the trajectory and energy files once it is completed. gmx grompp -f 400Kfor20ns.mdp -p topol.top -c 80ns.gro -e 0-80ns.edr -o continuation.tpr gmx mdrun -s continuation.tpr Catch ya, Dr. Dallas Warren Drug Delivery, Disposition and Dynamics Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Monash University 381 Royal Parade, Parkville VIC 3052 dallas.war...@monash.edu --------------------------------- When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.
