HI,

 

If you move the directory caseName_0.chk to caseName.fld then the code should read the initial conditions from these parallel files using the syntax you have suggested below. It checks to see if it is a filename or a directory and reads the files according to this.

Cheers,

Spencer.

Hi Everone,

 

I have a parallel simulation with a created directory of the initial conditions (caseName_0.chk). There are 64 processes and inside the directory, I see P0000000.fld up to P0000063.fld.

Now the question is, what should I change within the session file if I'd like to restart the simulation from these initial conditions?

 

Should it be something like:

 

<F VAR="u,v,w,p" FILE="caseName.fld" />

 

I wonder if this is correct, as I have no single file named "caseName.fld".

 

Kind regards
