In another hand I am still wondering how necessary it is to run the steady state as first step of my work. Is it wrong to directly start with unsteady simulation ??
I wouldn't say it's "wrong", but if you are using any post-processing tools that look for the minimum or maximum value across the simulation time frame, the unsteady beginning may falsify results. As well, starting multiple scenarios from one same restart file ensures consistency. But strictly speaking, no, it is not necessary to start in unsteady.
