Simulation continuation

cfduser5226 · March 23, 2014, 11:34

I am running a Fluent simulation and then need to close it when I log off the computer. Is there anyway to save the file so that I can re-open the file and continue to run iterations on top of what has been done during the last session. When I re-open Fluent it always makes me initialize the case again restarting the iteration count. I am a fairly new Fluent user so this may be easy but I do not know how. Any advice is appreciated.

Save both cas and dat files. Then open them and continue iterations.
