Thanks again,<br><br>I just thought there was an easier way and it seemed strange to me that I couldn't get the cumulative timestep. I don't usually change dt so for now I just use int(time/dt). And I don't really use fld files ;-), since we already have a fantastic inhouse visualization software (<a href="http://persons.unik.no/andershe/papers/voluviz/voluviz.html">http://persons.unik.no/andershe/papers/voluviz/voluviz.html</a>). <br>

Hi Mikael,<br>
<br>
I'm going to make a note of your request - it's not supported<br>
now, but could be w/ a bit of effort. The effort would be relatively small for the .fld files, a bit more for the .f0000 files, which is a newer feature.<br>
<br>
Generally I handle this issue by changing the name, e.g.,<br>
<br>
myrun_1a.rea<br>
myrun_1b.rea<br>
myrun_1c.rea<br>
...<br>
<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
In /tools/scripts/ the scripts mvv and cpn make it easy<br>
to do this --<br>
<br>
cpn myrun_1a myrun_1b copies all the requisite files.<br>
<br>
mvv does the same except with move.<br>
<br>
Although it seems like a look a good idea to have the feature you're asking about, there are some pitfalls - namely, if you change the order midstream in a sequence of runs then Visit/postx<br>
will be unhappy processing the sequence.<br>
<br>
If I wish to process a long sequence of .fld or .f files, I usually<br>
ln them to a common base name (e.g., "myrun") using a script that<br>
can be cooked up in about 30 seconds. I then process the lot.<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Just a very short (probably stupid) question. When restarting a case it<br>
seems to me that the istep parameters is reset to zero, which leads to new<br>
fld files overwriting the old. For example, if I run 10 timesteps and store<br>
blah.fld01 - blah.fld10 I then put blah.fld10 like this in the rea<br>
<br>
1 PRESOLVE/RESTART OPTIONS *****<br>
blah.fld10<br>
<br>
And then I ask for 10 more timesteps by setting p11 to 10 in the .rea file.<br>
I would expect to get 10 new fld files blah.fld11 - blah.fld20, but instead<br>
my blah.fld01 - blah.fld10 files are overwritten. Should it be like this? Is<br>
there some parameter or similar that one has to make sure to specify when<br>
restarting to avoid this? Is there a cumulative istep I don't know of?<br>
<br>
Thanks and best regards<br>
<br>
Mikael<br>
