So I tried doing this and ran into another problem. I made two mdp files, one that stored data every ten steps and one every hundred steps
I was thinking I would store data like this: 10 20 30 . . . 100 200 . . . 1000 And then I would start another 'block' that would go 1010 1020 . . . 1100 1200 . . . 2000 I am able to get one block of data stored the way I want. However when I use grompp to extend the simulation from that block using the mdp file that would store data every 10 time steps once again, I get a warning that the run will generate an obscene amount of data and that the simulation is running for infinite ps. I am not sure why that is happening and was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how to fix it. Or better yet, if someone else has a way to do this kind of non-linear data storage that has not occurred to me yet. Let me know if you need anymore information, I understand that this might be confusing to follow.
