Extending multisim Jobs

First, copy the .msj file into another .msj and call it jobname_extend.msj. After the last stage, the desmond_extend stage can be added with:

desmond_extend {
        added_time = 1200
        }

This indicates that the previous stage has to be extended by 1.2 ns.

Note:

Extending is not supported for all multisim stages, only those that run a simulation through the Desmond backend. As such, the desmond_extend stage should only be added after stages where adding time is meaningful.

To extend stage 8 in the above example, you would have to tar up the stage 8 files to use it as an input in the restart command. To do this, please run the following command:

tar -czvf myjob_8-out.tgz myjob.cpt myjob.ene myjob-in.cms myjob.log myjob-multisim_checkpoint_8 myjob-multisim_checkpoint myjob-out.cfg myjob-out.cms myjob_trj

Then, launch the multisim command using the new extend .msj file like this:

$SCHRODINGER/utilities/multisim -RESTART myjob-multisim_checkpoint:9 -d myjob_8-out.tgz -JOBNAME myjob -m myjob_extend.msj

This will extend the previous stage (stage 8) by whatever number the added_time is set to.
