Re: [AMBER] How to restart the remd simulation following the remd tutorial?

Hi Dan and all,

I use the Amber 10. Yes, the temperature is read from the restart file.

Another question is how to let the recorded running step in mdcrd file
and the acceptance rate in rem.log file follow the previous running.
when I restart my remd simulation, I found the running step is written
from 0 and the acceptance rate is written from 0.0. They don't follow
the previous running records.

Thanks!

Dongshan
