Extend runtime limit while the job is running

[gkotelnytskyy]

sometimes after 40 minutes of job running, I realise that the time limit i’ve set would be too small for it to complete. and with intermediate results not being stored and unusable – it’d be complete waste of time if it ran out of time.

Thanks a lot for your feedback @gkotelnytskyy! Let’s see what the rest of the SimScale users think about your query!

Cheers and all the best!

This post is similar to this topic already established in the forum.
It would be a really great feature if SimScale could really integrate this feature of ‘Run continuation’. This functionality will save a lot of core hours of the users.

Use another simulation or run for initial conditions

It would be really handy if I could use previous results as initial conditions, the reason is my simulation crashes at 0.35s and I need to do solver alterations to get it past this point. However to get it to 0.35 it takes a day to get to this point so would be handy to just start at say 0.33s and run from there? obviously it would need to be the same mesh but could specify a start from time, a simulation and run and a time step to initialise from. This would save me a lot of sim time I…

Sorry I had this post in another thread…

I agree completely

I want to extend it Before it finishes and After it starts like this:

I don’t see anything in the Solver Log that looks like OpenFoam was told when to stop the Real Time execution of the Run, couldn’t we have the WB allow us to change the Current Run’s Maximum Runtime (which I believe the WB is monitoring) while it is running?

Something like this, I was literally watching this screen when it timed out (obviously I was watching without the ‘Simulation Run’ frame items that I later added and circled in the below image)
