unstopable simulation

michalpecz · November 28, 2022, 10:36

so, i was just running some transient simulation, and after few steps i realised i used wrong numbers in border condition. i told it to stop after current step, opinion got grayed but simulation continued. unfortunately it was quite large simulation so it would be running like 3 hours.

Problem with this bug is also the fact that if you kill just the simulation process, your file will be still opened... but you cant do nothing in it, like for example SAVE THE CASE AND MESH.

How can be this piece of trash so buggy? did this program never passed throught testing phase?
