Hi,

(vp8v3)

I get the following error when merging a finished job:

ERROR IN WACRES00079-00037: RECORD: 432 IS NOT WITHIN [0, 431]

Indeed there shouldn’t be a 432th record. The simulation ended without any error notices in the listing printout.

here’s the relevant segment in the .cas file:

NUMBER OF TIME STEP = 19350

TIME STEP = 20.

PERIOD FOR LISTING PRINTOUTS = 45

PERIOD FOR GRAPHIC PRINTOUTS = 45

here’s the relevant excerpt from the end of the listing file:

================================================================================

```
   TEMPS : [phone removed] SECONDES 19350IEME ITERATION

```

* * *

```
   INTERPOLATION AUX PIEDS DES CARACTERISTIQUES

```

* * *

```
   PRISE EN COMPTE DES TERMES SOURCES EN 1 SOUS-ITERATION(S)

```

EXITING MPI

So, if there’s a way to merge a select range of times, that might do the trick. but I counldn’t find it.

any help would be much appreciated,

Hello,

I do not understand of which merge you are talking about.

As you made your calculation in parallel, there is a merge in space to aggregate the results from all the processors. but i don’t see why you speak about a merge in time.

I guess you should put your whole case so that we can understand what you mean.
