Syntax:
write_restart file
Examples:
write_restart restart.equil
Description:
Write a binary restart file of the current state of the simulation. See the read_restart command for information about what is stored in a restart file.
During a long simulation, the restart command is typically used to dump restart files periodically. The write_restart command is useful after a minimization or whenever you wish to write out a single current restart file.
Restart files can be read by a read_restart command to restart a simulation from a particular state. Because the file is binary (to enable exact restarts), it may not be readable on another machine. In this case, the restart2data program in the tools directory can be used to convert a restart file to an ASCII data file.
