Post-processing with less timesteps than generated

Post by Alain Y » Mon Aug 21, 2023 7:19 am

Hypothetical situation: I ran a simulation with 1000 time steps and now want to do post-processing with only 250 timesteps.

Instead of redoing a simulation with 250 times steps, could I simply import 1 out 4 VTU files in the sequence of the 1000 that were generated? Would this cause any issues?

I tested it, and it seems to work, but I don't have sufficient knowledge to know if there are issues/limitations to proceeding this way.

Hello,

What you did is correct, no issues that I know of.

Cheers,
Dave
