tpbconv(1) GROMACS suite, VERSION 4.5.4-dev-20110404-bc5695c tpbconv(1)
NAME
tpbconv - makes a run input file for restarting a crashed run
VERSION 4.5.4-dev-20110404-bc5695c
SYNOPSIS
tpbconv -s topol.tpr -f traj.trr -e ener.edr -n index.ndx -o tpxout.tpr -[no]h -[no]version -nice int -extend real -until real -nsteps int
-time real -[no]zeroq -[no]vel -[no]cont
DESCRIPTION
tpbconv can edit run input files in four ways.
1. by modifying the number of steps in a run input file with options -extend, -until or -nsteps (nsteps=-1 means unlimited number of
steps)
2. (OBSOLETE) by creating a run input file for a continuation run when your simulation has crashed due to e.g. a full disk, or by making
a continuation run input file. This option is obsolete, since mdrun now writes and reads checkpoint files. Note that a frame with coor-
dinates and velocities is needed. When pressure and/or Nose-Hoover temperature coupling is used an energy file can be supplied to get an
exact continuation of the original run.
3. by creating a .tpx file for a subset of your original tpx file, which is useful when you want to remove the solvent from your .tpx
file, or when you want to make e.g. a pure Calpha .tpx file. Note that you may need to use -nsteps -1 (or similar) to get this to work.
WARNING: this .tpx file is not fully functional.
4. by setting the charges of a specified group to zero. This is useful when doing free energy estimates using the LIE (Linear Interaction
Energy) method.

-nice int 0
Set the nicelevel
-extend real 0
