Re: [AMBER] strategies to terminate and continue a MD run

I referred to the manual, and there seems to be no detail information about
how to continue from a crashed run. For example, I want to do 10ns MD
simulation, but the walltime limit forced my job to stop at 2.5ns.

I understand that I should use the restrt file from the point 2.5ns, but
should I rewrite the .mdin file to decrease the total simulation time to
7.5ns? Or I can just use the original .mdin file?

Thanks,

Yun
