When I use .cpt file with tpbconv, I get the error pasted below. I checked the cpt file with gmxdump and it is not empty and has the same number of atoms.


So use grompp, as I suggested before. Using gmxdump to verify the number of atoms is also not what I suggested; it can be used as a means to verify that the proper coordinates and velocities were assembled in the new .tpr file.

Reading toplogy and stuff from rex_1.tpr
Reading file rex_1.tpr, VERSION 4.5.1 (single precision)
NOTE: Reading the state from trajectory is an obsolete feaure of tpbconv.
Continuation should be done by loading a checkpoint file with mdrun -cpi
      This guarantees that all state variables are transferred.
      tpbconv is now only useful for increasing nsteps,
      but even that can often be avoided by using mdrun -maxh
Modifying ir->bContinuation to TRUE

        I am doing a manual replica exchange(generalized hamiltonian
        rem) after every mdrun. If the replica exchange is successful,
        then I "exchange checkpoint files". For example, consider the
        following:
         Simulation parameters:....................B1.........B2
        Replicas(coordinates and velocities):.R1.........R2
         0. Tpbconv to extend simulation time ( using -s, -o and -nsteps
        ONLY)
        1. Mdrun run - 500 steps = 1ps
        2. Attempt exchange - NOT SUCCESSFUL
        3. Exchange implementation: SKIP 4.Continue to next step
         .....

        1. Mdrun run - 500 steps = 1ps
        2. Attempt exchange - If successful, exchange

        1. Mdrun with exchanged .cpt files -NOW this is where the
        problem shows..
             i) The log, xtc files are not appended when beginning after
        a step with a successful exchange attempt:/According to Mark's
        previous mail, this could be a result of mismatch in ensembles.
        Which means that the .cpt is ignored - implying that the mdrun
        in B1 DOES NOT start from R2./

    Sounds like a reasonable conclusion.


        Therefore, to make R1 run in B2 and R2 run in B1, do I need to
        supply .cpt to tpbconv instead of mdrun after a successful
        exchange step?

    Either tpbconv or grompp can do this.  Check the resulting .tpr with
    gmxdump to make sure it's using the proper coordinates, velocities,
    etc from the .cpt file and you'll have your answer as to whether or
    not it's working as you want.

    -Justin

        To summarize:
        APPENDING HAS NOW BECOME A SECONDARY CONCERN, WHAT I AM
        INTERESTED IN IS A SUCCESSFUL MANUAL REPLICA EXCHANGE RUN AS
        POINTED OUT ABOVE.
         I hope my dilemma is clear now.
