read_restart command

Syntax:

read_restart file 

• file = name of binary restart file to read in

Examples:

read_restart save.10000 

Description:

Read in a previously saved set of particles from a restart file. This allows continuation of a previous spatial simulation.

Only particle information is stored in the restart file. Thus before reading a restart file, you should re-define species and geometry information, and must setup bins via the bin command.

Because restart files are binary, they may not be portable to other machines.

Restrictions: none

The bin command must be used before reading a restart file.

This command can only be used for spatial simulations.
