Restarting SOWFA-OpenFAST simulation

[yisehakabreham]

Dear all,

I would like to restart the SOWFA-OpenFAST simulation from a time instant that was interrupted. I reconstructed the SOWFA field at the required last time step and modified the starting time in the run script. However, the coupled OpenFAST output didn't start from the point it stopped. I used a restarting time that has checkpoint data, but OpenFAST starts from time 0 in both the Restart and Dry Run options of turbineArrayProperties.

Is there a restarting (resuming) capability in the SOWFA-OpenFAST code? If there is, how can I activate it to restart the simulation of both SOWFA and OpenFAST?

Thanks in advance.
