Continuing simulator with diffierent number of processes

[Damian Deza]

Hello, i was wondering if there is a way of simulating for example 10000 steps with 8 processes and the next 4500 with 12 processes, i mean changing the number and being able to continue from where i left it.

Thank you

Hi Damian,

I assume you want to do this from the command line? If so you can used svpost with the -laststep option. This will create a restart.10000.0 file. You can then copy that file to the original restart.0.1 file and run a new simulation with a different number of processors.

Cheers,
Dave

Works like a charm, thank you!
