Restart from a *.gdr File
In some situations, it may be useful to re-use previously computed results and save a great amount of time by restarting the process from an existing GeoDict result file (*.gdr). Typical examples would be
- non-sufficient accuracy of some computation, when it is suspected that more iterations may improve the quality of the result,
- trying another boundary condition (e.g., Dirichlet instead of Periodic or other way around),
- continuing an iteration process,
- or using similar parameter values for the computation.
To restart and initialize the solver from a result file (*.gdr), check Restart from .gdr File and enter the name of a file, or Browse for it in the project folder.
When using Restart From .gdr File only the volume field (*.hht file) associated to the loaded *.gdr file will be used to continue the simulation.
|
Important! The *.hht file is saved in the result folder of a previous run. Make sure that this file was not deleted from the results folder. If the *.hht file is not available the restart option cannot be used. |
No other parameters from the options dialog will be loaded from the *.gdr file, but it is possible to load them by clicking Load Parameters in the Result Viewer. This way the simulation can be continued while using the same settings as in the initial simulation.

Important! The structure from the run of which you want to use the result file must be loaded into GeoDict. If this is not the case, an error message is displayed. |
