My question is about the calculation of the "Time-averaged fields" in filters. One of the input options is: "RestartFile", how should I use this option correctly? For example: I have five checkpoints such as s_1.chk, s_2.chk, s_3.chk, s_4.chk, s_5.chk, and their time-mean field s_avg.fld, besides the final output file s.fld. Then, I want to continue my simulation, so I write s.fld as the initial condition function (in <FUNCTION NAME="InitialConditions">). At this time, I hope to use s_avg.fld as the restart file (in <PARAM NAME="RestartFile">s_avg.fld</PARAM>) of the time-average field filter to reduce the time consumption of the entire simulation process by utilizing all the results obtained. I would like to ask users and developers whether I understand RestartFile option correctly (might it be used to take the original time-average field as the first snapshot in my process)? How could I correctly fill the filter section of the xml document. Thank you very much and look forward to your reply. Best Regards, Wang Zhouyang
