Time steps are lost

Gvasalli · February 27, 2019, 09:07

Hello everyone
I've just done transient simulation of radial compressor and did animation. But after than I just added some more components in monitor. Then restarted my calculation and when it was done, in cfx post I could see only last simulation time steps I loaded previous results but they contain only last time step results. I know that I can do it in export files but I don't want to export each timestep in other files. Is it possible every timesteps to be shown in cfd post only just loading one file?
Thank you in advance

Ok. Ehm, your description is a bit confusing (at least for me). You had a simulation where you were able to see each time step as a result in CFD-Post? Then you needed more monitor points, added them in Pre, restarted the simulation and as it finished you tried to open it in Post and there was only one time step available?

Timesteps after restarting
So there was from 0 to 199 in first simulation.
And when I updated and stoped simulation there was only 200 205 time steps. I added previous .res files but didn't work.

hhm. As it is the same mesh and so on, you might be able to trick cfx a bit by adding the .trn files of the old simulation to the new simulation folder?

Ok I will try but not now I've simulation running in fluent. Thank you.

Now I found out that I don't have ten file for first 200 iteration I don't know why maybe that's why I could see previous timesteps only once

I meant trn instead of ten
