Hi Francesco,
If you are just continuing a QM/MM MD simulation, you do not need to change
the qmConfigLine. You can just ask NAMD for another 100000 steps with the
"run 100000" command.
All you need to do to continue the simulations is to set the initial
positions, velocities, and box dimensions using the restart files from your
previous simulations. For extending MD runs, the fact that this is a QM/MM
simulation does not change anything for NAMD.
Best,
Marcelo
