[FLASH-USERS] 'forced' output unavailable for restart

[Mario Manuel]

Hi All,

I am trying to restart a simulation from a checkpoint file, and it is having problems restarting.

Here is the final lines of the log file:

  ==============================================================================

So it finds the correct checkpoint file in my output directory, but it is also looking for the ‘AblRTnoB_forced_hdf5_plt_cnt_’ file. This file does not exist. The only differences in my initial .par file and the one I’m using now for the restart is

plotFileNumber       = 0041			(instead of 0)
restart              = .true.				(instead of .false.)
checkpointFileNumber = 0064			(instead of 0)

Once the simulation starts up again, I’d like the next save files to be 0042 and 0065 for the plot and checkpoint, respectively. 

Is there some other flag I should be adding in the .par file? Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers,
Mario
