Re: [AMBER] small energy jump when restoring a simulation production

Hi

just to make sure we are all on board, you are NOT comparing the last
step on MD 1 with the first step of MD 2, but rather the last step of
MD1 with the 5000th step of MD 2.


So, there is no reason why those two values should be the same.

As always, plot total energy vs 'time' and see if there is really a jump
(as in a large chaneg between MD1 and 2) or just a fluctuation.
