Hi, Felipe, Thank you. I guess we could continue a MD without the vel file if we specify the temperature. Usually I specify the vel file and comment out the "temperature" option when I continue a MD. Would the atom velocities be calculated automatically in the program with the specified temperature?

Hi, The coordinates and box information are stored in the dcd file, so creating restarts for that should not be a problem. However, the velocities cannot be recovered from the trajectory itself. So unless you specifically saved a velocity trajectory you won't have the vel file and therefore will need to re-assign velocities from scratch. Depending on what you want from the trajectory, that might not be an appropriate restart.

In another word, could it be possible to prepare the .coor, .vel, and .xsc extend files from any timestep from the trajectory?  Best regards.
