Hi Ansuman, With -t nvt.cpt the positions, velocities and other state information is taken from the .cpt file. Otherwise, the positions and velocities are taken from the lower precision .gro file, and other state information is not available. Adding -t nvt.cpt will result in a more exact

Hi, Can someone please explain if it is necessary to use the -t flag during NPT equilibration? The following command is mentioned in the lysozyme tutorial: $ grompp -f npt.mdp -c nvt.gro -t nvt.cpt -p topol.top -o npt.tpr whereas , I have found the command without the -t flag in another
