If you have a results file already, and you want Ansys Polyflow to start the calculation using the results file as an initial solution, you will make this request and specify the name of the results file in Ansys Polydata. Then, when you read the data file into Ansys Polyflow (as described in Reading a Data File into Ansys Polyflow), Ansys Polyflow will start the calculation from the initial solution in the results file.
The procedure is as follows:
In Ansys Polydata, select the Numerical parameters menu item for the task (for example, in the F.E.M. Task 1 menu).
Numerical parameters
Select the Start from an old result file menu item.
Start from an old result file
When prompted, specify the name of the old results file (e.g.,
myold.res).Return to the top-level Ansys Polydata menu and save the data file (as described in Writing a Data File).
Follow the instructions in Reading a Data File into Ansys Polyflow to read the data file into Ansys Polyflow and start the calculation, after ensuring that the results file is in your working directory with the mesh and data files.
For evolution or time-dependent calculations, you will usually start the calculation from an existing results file and an existing restart file. See Starting an Evolution or Time-Dependent Calculation from Existing Results and Restart Files for details.
