<br>
During an ongoing simulation, I forced FLASH 4.8 to reduce the maximum <br>
grid refinement level (lrefine_max) by adjusting the refinement cutoffs. <br>
I saved this state to a checkpoint file and subsequently initialized a <br>
new simulation with the reduced maximum refinement level.<br>
<br>
The simulation runs temporarily but eventually terminates with the <br>
following error: "DRIVER_ABORT: Got nonzero ierr from <br>
HYPRE_SStructMatrixSetValues!".<br>
<br>
I suspect that the PARAMESH block tree requires rebuilding to properly <br>
eliminate the highest refinement level inherited from the initial <br>
simulation. I believe the failure occurs within the following file: <br>
FLASH4.8\source\Grid\GridSolvers\HYPRE\MHD\paramesh\gr_hypreCreateMatrix1BlkMag.F90.<br>
<br>
Could anyone advise on how to accomplish this tree rebuild, or suggest <br>
an alternative method for reducing the grid resolution during runtime?<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
