Continuing firefoam solver from latesttime
 
I am having an issue with continuing the firefoam solver with a radiation model.

I had run the solver for awhile and the simulation stopped at some point due to power being cut out, and I have some saved time folders. However, when I changed the controldict option startFrom entry from startTime to latestTime, it says the latest time folder is missing the IDefault file. It is present in the 0 file, but it appears it was not calculated (?) and/or stored in the other time folders during the solving.

Is there a way I can continue the solver from the latest time, although the required file is not there? Thank you very much.

Hi,

I guess it will be ok to copy the IDefault file from the 0 folder to the latestTime folder. If you run in parallel you would need to do it for all processor folders.

Cheers,
Tom
