Description

tpbconv can edit run input files in three ways.

1st. by creating a run input file for a continuation run when your simulation has crashed due to e.g. a full disk, or by making a continuation run input file. Note that a frame with coordinates and velocities is needed, which means that when you never write velocities, you can not use tpbconv and you have to start the run again from the beginning.

2nd. by creating a tpx file for a subset of your original tpx file, which is useful when you want to remove the solvent from your tpx file, or when you want to make e.g. a pure Ca tpx file. WARNING: this tpx file is not fully functional. 3rd. by setting the charges of a specified group to zero. This is useful when doing free energy estimates using the LIE (Linear Interactio Energy) method.
