You can use ptraj to trajout restart files from any point along in the
simulation. It will automatically pull the box information for each step
from that frame in the trajectory (or at least it should, you can check
this).
trajin trajectory.mdcrd 5 100 5
trajout snapshot.restrt restart
This will save the files snapshot.restrt.#, where # is 5, 10, 15, ..., 100.
If you've saved velocities, you can, in theory, extract velocities at the
same time steps and dump those into the restart files. However, this is a
little more difficult/involved since ptraj is not made to deal with mdvel
files, and they can only be netcdf-encoded.
You can, however, just have amber assign a random MB velocity distribution
at the start of the simulation.
Hope this helps,
Jason
