ABINIT Discussion Forums

I'm doing a geometry relaxation. Can I use the atomic positions calculated from another run to restart my job? Is there a file that Abinit read from another run to continue the job with the last atomic positions calculated? Or I need to cut and past the last coordinates from the log (or output) to the new input restart file?

Hi

I don't think there's a file abinit can read to restart the calculation. So yes, you'll have to copy/paste the new atomic positions from the log to the input file. And if you performed a cell volume optimization, new cell parameters must be copied/pasted too.
