Hi,

Am a new OpenFOAM user

Am runing LES simulation with 10,000 time step
my problem is my walltime exceeded after 12 hours, and then I need to start from the begining,
Is there a way to continue my simulation from where it stopped

best

hi
i usualy copy the field in the field 0 and i restart the calculation you can also modify the starttime in the controlDict file
good luck for your calculation

This is not entirely true, cause it will work only in the case when startFrom keyword is set to startTime.

Normally I'm using following configuration:

Code:
startFrom       latestTime;

startTime       0;
but this means I don't really need startTime at all. It's up to you which one is better, both are working fine to me.

Hi it didnt work
when I continue the program let say after 5 hours, it write from the beginning on the probes/0/p, not continue from the last time field

Is this problem concerns only p or U either?

I have no experience with functions in OF yet, but have that feeling like it has to do something with the outputControl. Look that you are using different statements in probes and fieldAverage1.

I might be wrong, so help from other more advanced users would be here appreciated

Sorry, maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. I was just wondering why you're using different values in case of outputControl keyword here:

Code:
    probes
    {
        ...
        outputControl   timeStep;
and here:

Code:
    fieldAverage1
    {
        ...
        outputControl   outputTime;
Is there any specific reason for doing like that?
