I've tried to run the unsteady square cylinder test case provided with the code but it only writes 1 solution file right at the end. Does anyone know how do you get the solver to write a solution file every iteration whilst running the code in parallel?

The cfg code is below, thanks in advance.
Code:

Thanks for your question.
I believe that increasing EXT_ITER above 3 will help. Currently, it uses two previous steps to restart the solution and runs one additional dual time step (which has several internal iterations that are printed to the screen).
