Thanks for your comments.<br>One more question.<br>Does Gromacs saves velocities in pdb files, when we use gen_vel=yes option in mdp and save the output(-c) of mdrun as pdb file instead of gro file.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

    Each atom must have a velocity in a *dynamical* simulation. If there
    is no instruction for what values to use (i.e. not generated or
    supplied), zero is used. Integration proceeds from there, and this

          Again, the &quot;continuation&quot; keyword has nothing to do with
          velocities.  If you have &quot;gen_vel = no&quot; and you provide a .pdb
          file with no velocities, then you do not preserve velocity
          information.  Whatever the initial forces are govern the
          resulting motions.  In any case, you do not preserve the
          previous simulation conditions.<br>

                    &gt; Dear Gromacs users!<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    &gt; I have small question about order of the runs
                and input data.<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    &gt; Ussually I do 2 equilibration phases and
                subsequent productive<br>
                   phase in the<br>
                    &gt; conditions wich are equal to the last
                equilibration phase ( e.g<br>
                   often this<br>
                    &gt; is npt ).<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    &gt; In the second equil.mdp and md.mdp there is
                option<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    &gt; continuation             = yes<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    &gt; which means that there have been previous
                phases of the<br>
                   simulation from<br>
                    &gt; wich  coordinates and velocities should be
                taken.<br>
                    &gt;<br>
                    &gt; As I understood the coordinates is taken from
                .gro file but from<br>
                   what file<br>
                    &gt; the velocities must be providen ? Does it .cpt
                checkpoint file from<br>
                    &gt; previous run? In some cases I&#39;ve forgotten to
                define -t npt.cpt<br>
                   for my MD<br>
                    &gt; run providing only coordinates in GRO file,
                topology and md.mdp<br>
                   but I have<br>
                    &gt; not seen any errors in such simulation due to
                absence of that<br>
                   .cpt and<br>
                    &gt; GROMPP never remind me of the absense of this
                file. What exactly<br>
                   is in that<br>
                    &gt; .cpt file and from wich source the velocities
                from equilibration<br>
                   phase are<br>
                    &gt; taken ?<br>
                <br>
                   continuation = yes is telling LINCS that it is a
                continuation and<br>
                   it should not attempt to refit the constrained bonds
                on the first pass.<br>
                <br>
                   The coords, velocities, state, and box information
                are taken either<br>
                   from the<br>
                   cpt file or you can specify the previous .trr and it
                will take the<br>
                   last frame<br>
                   from that and use it. If you used the output gro file
                without -t, then<br>
                   it will take coordinates and velocities from the .gro
                but the<br>
                   problem there<br>
                   is the limited precision (3 decimal points for each).<br>
