[Anuga-user] HOT RESTART plus Merging Multiple SWW files

[<ru...@ba...>]

Hi All,

some of us have been running very very long simulations... taking several
weeks... and when you live in an area where the power drops out, or some
fool turns off your computer, or it decides to upgrade itself...

The ANUGA run is stopped without finalising... requiring to re-run...

I recall discussing the ability to have a HOT-Restart capability,
whereby an ANUGA run script could include the ability to extract the
results of stage and momentum XY from the last time step in a SWW file,
and continue to run from that time step??

Has any one attempted this?
Has any one any advice on how this may be achieved?
It would need the ability to move to the correct time step in the input
data files also... Tide, Rain, Inflows etc....

FINALLY:

This more than likely would produce multiple SWW files ??? Would it not?

and if so is there a method to stitch or merge SWW files into 1 file ??
