binCoordinates->restart.coor file
coordinates->pdb file
That's how it's set, which is as far as I know correct.

Hi, Charles:

Normally, this kind of error occurs because you have mixed the usage of binary file with normal pdb file, i.e. use pdb file for "binCoordinates" or vice versa. Have you checked this?

Best,

After equilibrating with a periodic cell for 68000 steps, my simulation terminated, complaining of the patches growing too small. I have seen online that the easiest and most useful approach to dealing with this is simply to restart the simulation from saved vel, coor, and xsc, which will cause the patches to reset and the simulation to proceed. However, attempting to do this, I find that the simulation terminates upon reading the coor file, complaining of:
