Hi @Roham ,
I started documenting this at some point, based on some other resources:
master ← restart-calculix
opened 03:53PM - 27 Aug 25 UTC
This PR shapes [this Medium article](https://pawel-lojek.medium.com/resuming-fsi… -simulations-with-openfoam-calculix-896088861ae) by @moon1144 (written for a much older state of preCICE) into a section of the CalculiX adapter documentation.
I did not have success restarting yet (my flow simulation crashes after a few iterations in the first time window after restarting), but I think this is a first step long overdue.
Why now:
- I recently found out about @moon1144's article (I think suggested by @IshaanDesai) and did not want to let it slip through
- this year's workshop is approaching, and last year I talked a bit about this with @MatthiasFreimuth
- @vidulejs is currently debugging some simulations using restarting, so he might have some additional insight
All kind of feedback welcome right now. This is something that many users are asking for often.
If you could directly try things out and comment in the PR, it would be great to make some progress on it together. This is something that many users have asked.
