Hi, all vasp users
I would like to do the molecular dynamics using vasp. The time time is 20 ps. The computation was shut off at 15 ps because of some reasons. I would like to restart my calculation picking up previous 15 ps trajectory. How should i do? Will the recalculation results overwrite or append to previous outputs? Of course, I hope it appended to the previous outputs. Thanks

The VASP manual mentions how to restart a MD simulation. Bsaically, copy CONTCAR to POSCAR. You can save a copy of your generated output somewhere else.
