open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

I have a problem with continued simulation. I've run a first simulation of the event 2011 to warm up the model and it ended normaly. When I tried to use the first result in continued simulation, it ran normally also but it exceeded the number of time steps I have assigned for them and gave me an error of OUT OF RANGE.

Please see the pictures.

Hi,

As it's a hot start, how did you set INITIAL TIME SET TO ZERO?

If FALSE, you restart your "continued" simulation from time = 147600 s.

At time step = 50221 (probably when it crashes)
time = 248042 s = 147600 + 2*50221 > 248040s wich is the last instant with information on your liquid boundary.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, you've got a point. I'll restart from time step 147600s and I'll believe it will end normally this time.

Well .. I rerun the simulation starting from the time step specified above. However, the number of time steps exceeded the number specified again and then gave an error as in the picture.

Hi,

Could you post your steering file and your liquid boundary file.

If you didn't change anything on your boundary file, your simulation will stop after 248040s.

You need to change INITIAL TIME SET TO ZERO to TRUE or to complete your liquid boundary file to last 147600 + 244800 = 392400.

Well .. I didn't change anything in the boundary. I chose another time step to end the simulation to see if it's going to stop or not (155520) but instead it continued to run till it gave me an error after (248040). I don't know why it doesn't stop.

155520 + 147600 = 303120 s is still exceeding 248040s

• reduce the NUMBER OF TIME STEPS to 50220 (-> 147600s + 2s * 50220 = 248040s )

If a steering file contains the keywords DURATION and NUMBER OF TIME STEPS, TELEMAC-2D uses the one that produces the longer simulation. In addition, if the keyword DURATION is used and does not correspond to a whole number of time steps, TELEMAC-2D will take the integer immediately higher.

Finally done. Yes I was miscalculating, that's why. But now is there a way to combine both simulations primary and continued??
