Re: [AMBER] rism1d convergence query

Hi Rakesh,

The default for for rism1d is to output a restart file (see the ksave keyword in the manual). If a restart file is present when rism1d is run, it is automatically used. You can use this to restart from a previously converged solution with the same species but different parameters. Really, only the number of sites and the number of grid points needs to be the same.

Hope this helps,

Tyler
