I don’t know why it couldn’t make that file correctly, but by setting ignoreForcedPlot = .true. , the simulation started using the correct check file and wrote a new plot file from that initial condition, based and used the plotFileNumber at that beginning overwriting the existing file if necessary.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Mario</div><div><br></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true">
