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

You can use the same mdin file, setting first the ntx and irest
variables as Jason told you before, and always using the previous
restart file to run the next one. So, to run from 2,5 to 5 ns, you
have to use the restrt file generated in the first 2,5 ns of simulation.
