Advanced systemcoupling on a HPC cluster - a problem
 
Hi everyone,

I'm using ANSYS System Coupling for a bluff body with separation plate FSI simulation on a HPC cluster.
Firstly, I simulated and got the result (.dat) for the fluid domain using pure stationary mesh. In this .dat file, it has the fluid field information at the flow time = 30000 [s].
Then I want to use this .dat as the initial fluid field for the FSI simulation in System Coupling, but here comes the problem:

The SC seems to ignore the .dat file and start everything from the beginning, which is extremely time consuming.

Therefore, I'm looking for suggestions from any who has ever know about this. Is there any way to tell SC using the provided .dat file as the initial fluid field for Fluent? And how to do it in the runFluent.py (a python script for starting SC)

Thanks in advance.

(P.s. Since I use HPC, it is all based on Linux. I ran the command "systemcoupling -R runFluent.py" to start the FSI simulation)
