Description
The tpa file extension stands for binary run input file. This file contains
the starting structure of your simulation, The molecular topology and
all the simulation data. Because this file is in binary format it
cannot be read with a normal editor. To read a binary run input file type:
% gmx dump -s topol.tpa
or if you're not such a fast reader:
% gmxdump -s topol.tpa | more
You can also compare two tpa files using:
% gmx check -s1 top1 -s2 top2 | more
