New option: reset_time

Post by Bernd » Tue May 12, 2009 6:20 pm

Hi all,

I introduced a new option which makes it possible to reset the time with restart. If one uses the restart option to simulate a process consisting of many steps (like solidification-heat treatment-cooling-aging), it can be quite annoying to have one consecutive time scale and to copy the temperature history into all process steps. With the new optional reset_time keyword it is possible to reset the time to zero, it also includes a reset for the complete relinearisation and update of the diffusion coefficients times :

...
#restart using old results?
# Options: new restart [reset_time]
restart reset_time
# Name of the restart file?
...

The feature is included into the beta-Version 5.409. Enjoy!

Bernd

Another detail:

If you use this option you are also allowed to change the definition of the diffusion coefficients (e.g.to try out numerical issues)!
