Dear CPMD community,

I am having some problems starting an MD run from previously optimized 
wavefunction calculation.

The system I am using requires the automatic addition of the hydrogen 
atoms to topology file that contains a molecule (to be treated QM) with 
implicit hydrogens. The CPMD input file for the initial optimization is...

I then copy the GROMOS96 original coordinate, input and topology files to 
a new directory along with the RESTART file generated to a new directory 
and use the following CPMD input file to try and start an MD run...

The CPMD out file gives me the following warnings...

...
 RV30! NUMBER OF SPECIES HAS CHANGED                       5   31
 RV30! INCONSISTENT NUMBER OF ATOMS.
 RV30| WARNING! CANNOT READ COORDINATES FROM SECTION 4
 RV30| WARNING! NO INITIAL GEOMETRY
...

An the program terminates with the message 'stop, maybe too much 
translation'.

Any insights would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Ian
