Restart and resetting atom ids

Submitted by AzamatSalamat on Fri, 01/22/2021 - 13:11

Do the restart/write_restart and read_restart commands reset the atom IDs?
So, will a particle with a certain ID have the same ID if I am continuing my simulation using read_restart?

Best regards,
Azamat

Hello
Restart files save the configuration of your simulation at specified timestep(s). When you run a restart file, the simulation resumes from that timestep. Therefore atom IDs are saved as they are and not get changed when you run a restart file.

Hope it helps
