Sometimes you will want to restart a reduction process after it has stopped. Examine the completed steps and resume following a productive step. You may need to change methods, reduce the number of parameter studies, or adjust parameter settings to allow the runs to proceed further.
The steps for restarting from a specific point in an existing reduction session are:
Save the last successful Chemkin project from the last reduction operation with acceptable error. Archive and save this Chemkin project in a separate directory.
Unarchive the project from 1 in the working directory. Change the name of the mechanism file to a meaningful name.
Load the new mechanism reduction session and specify the original (full) Chemkin project as Target Project and the newly created project in bas the Initial Project. Run the session.
In the Select Operations panel, remove all the reduction methods from the top to the one that failed.
Continue with steps 9 and 10, from the section Setting Up a Reduction Operation Project in Reaction Workbench, to complete the procedure.
