Warnings and Detection for Mesh Transformation with Restart #1224

If you run a restart but leave a mesh transformation in it will mess up the coordinates. We should have a check and print a warning, or make users specifically opt in to mesh transformation + restart.

Yes, that is the intent of mesh transformation - change coordinates. Warning might be good, but would need people to weed through the log files to catch it?

psakievich commented 12 months ago

I'm thinking we basically disable all mesh transformations on restart, unless the user specifically opts in with a flag in the transformation block?

ashesh2512 commented 12 months ago

make sense

I can't really think of a good reason to do a mesh transformation as part of a restart, but maybe someone will
