When continuing an iteration process or using similar parameter values for a FlowDict computation, a great amount of time can be saved by restarting the process from an existing GeoDict result file (*.gdr). When using Restart From .gdr File only the flow field (*.vap file) associated to the loaded *.gdr file will be used to continue the simulation. The *.vap file is saved in the result folder. No other parameters from the Stokes(-Brinkman) dialog will be loaded from the *.gdr file. It is possible to load the other parameters from the *.gdr file into the Stokes(-Brinkman) dialog by clicking Load Parameters in the Result Viewer. This way the simulation can be continued with using the same settings as in the initial simulation.

To restart from a result file (*.gdr), and initialize the iterative EJ, SimpleFFT, or LIR solver, check Restart from .gdr File and enter the name of a file, or Browse for it in the project folder.
