Restart calculation

[gdambrin]

Hello !
I am trying to restart a calculation, but I have some problems as I have an error saying : " Error opening suiamo". I use Code Saturne 1.3 without GUI. It's in french, so after calculation, I obtained a folder SUITE$DATE instead of RESTART$DATE with two files inside : suiava, suiavx.
 
I followed an explanation posted previously saying that : 
- make a symbolic link from the checkpoint directory in the DATA directory like this: cd DATA && ln -s ../RESU/RESTART.$DATE; so I wrote in the case directory : cd ./DATA && ln -s ../RESU/SUITE.$DATE
 
I tried to rename the two files in SUITE$DATE folder, but I always obtained this error " Error opening suiamo"
Maybe I have to change something in order to load right files ?
 
thanks for your help.

Hi,
I found the solution. I have to copy the folder SUITE.$DATE in the directory DATA and renamed it : SUITE.
The restart calculation is proceeding actually and I checked the file "listing" in temporary files : the calculation is running.

Hello,
You may also use a symbolic link instead of a copy. It is the rename which is important, as the restart folder must always be DATA/SUITE.
