resetting time to 0

March 1, 2004, 18:35

I have a time dependant simulation that I have run for several seconds.

I want to reset the flow time to 0 (and number of time steps to 0) in the solver, but keep my flow field.

Does anyone know how I can do this? Perhaps using a DEFINE_ON_DEMAND() udf that I could execute after reading in my case and data that will reset these variables without unwanted side effects?

Thanks.

rpsetvar flow-time 0.0

using the text interface with the above command should reset the time
