reading geometry (coordinates and cell parameters) from a restart file

[Matt W]

Hi,

you need to use the &EXT_RESTART 
<https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/EXT_RESTART.html> section instead 
of trying to read the restart file in the topology section.

Something like

&EXT_RESTART
   RESTART_FILE_NAME umsm-nh2-1.restart
&END EXT_RESTART

should do. By default, it reads in all information from the restart file 
 (but your input file must still be valid, and define the topology 
correctly as this is processed before the external file).
