NAME
     gmx-convert-tpr - Make a modified run-input file

SYNOPSIS
	gmx convert-tpr [-s [<.tpr/.gro/...>]] [-n [<.ndx>]]
		     [-o [<.tpr/.gro/...>]] [-extend <time>] [-until <time>]
		     [-nsteps <int>] [-[no]generate_velocities]
		     [-velocity_temp <real>] [-velocity_seed <int>]

DESCRIPTION
     gmx convert-tpr can edit run input files in three ways.

     1.  by  modifying the number of steps in a run input file with options -ex-
     tend, -until or -nsteps (nsteps=-1 means unlimited number of steps)

     2. 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 Calpha .tpx file.  Note that you may need  to  use
     -nsteps  -1  (or  similar) to get this to work.  WARNING: this .tpx file is
     not fully functional.

     3. by setting the charges of a specified group to zero. This is useful when
     doing free energy estimates  using  the  LIE  (Linear  Interaction  Energy)
     method.

OPTIONS
     Options to specify input files:

     -s [<.tpr/.gro/...>] (topol.tpr)
	    Run input file to modify: tpr gro g96 pdb brk ent

     -n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional)
	    File containing additional index groups

     Options to specify output files:

     -o [<.tpr/.gro/...>] (tprout.tpr) (Optional)
	    Generated modified run input file: tpr gro g96 pdb brk ent

     Other options:

     -extend <time> (0)
	    Extend runtime by this amount (ps)

     -until <time> (0)
	    Extend runtime until this ending time (ps)

     -nsteps <int> (0)
	    Change the number of steps remaining to be made

     -[no]generate_velocities (no)
	    Reassign velocities, using a generated seed unless one is explicitly
	    set

     -velocity_temp <real> (300)
	    Temperature to use when generating velocities

     -velocity_seed <int> (-1)
	    Random seed for velocities. If value is -1, a new one is generated
