Question about Restart in Star-CD

Julia · June 24, 2009, 22:12

When doing transient calculation,

If I use the *Initial Field Restart *, not the *Standard Restart*
and choose *Restart (New boundary values)*
What is the difference between the options *continue* and *reset*??

Thank you very much.

If you select Reset (default option) then time will be counted from the moment of restart. If you have multiple time periods with different time steps, you should keep this in mind. Otherwise it doesn't matter which option you'll chose.
