Restart options #567

Open adityaghantasala opened 5 years ago

adityaghantasala commented 5 years ago

During the workshop on Wednesday's hands on session some of the participants were asking if it is possible to add restart flag and corresponding settings from the GiD interface. Is it possible ?

Also is there a plan to do this ?

There is an implementation of the Restart feature, such as PFEM.

The idea is to implement it in every app, so anyone can use it, but it must work on Kratos side first. Maybe @KratosMultiphysics/technical-committee can help

Maybe we can start with StructuralMechanics which also has restart implemented. @KratosMultiphysics/structural-mechanics?

philbucher commented 5 years ago

I did the generic implementation in the Core/FluidDynamics/StructuralMechanics some time ago

I have a deadline on Monday evening, after that I can do it / help you do it @jginternational

what is in PFEM is outdated I think

jginternational commented 5 years ago

Ok @philbucher ! 😃

For saving the restart we meanwhile use the save_restart_process

This is an output-process, same as the gid-output-process

You can find the options here but I am not sure which ones to expose ... For sure the name of the modelpart has to be the same as the one that is being passed to the solver_settings (e.g. "Structure" for StructuralMechanics)

Other than that I would probably only expose "restart_save_frequency" and "restart_control_type"

Abt loading I am not sure, this is done in the model_part_import_settings in the solver_settings Does it make sense to expose this too? Would this ever be used from the Inteface?
