mcgoldba New Member Marc Join Date: Oct 2017 Posts: 11 Rep Power: 9	Hello All, I have a running simulation that is setup with purgeWrite = 2 so that only the last two timesteps are saved. However, as the simulation progresses sometimes I'd like to retain a timestep without it being purged. Is there a way to accomplish this without restarting the simulation? I have run across this post where it is suggested to use secondaryWriteControl, but it seems that option has been removed in later versions of OpenFOAM.
