Choosing a specific batch recovery instance

The below post is related to an archived discussion


Hello, I made a mistake on my batch script while trying to restart a comsol simulation in batchmode. I'm running a large scale simulation in a cluster and it needs to be restarted several times because of the time limitation of the cluster. I used -continue instead of -recovery -continue and COMSOL started a fresh new simulation so I cancelled it. Is it possible to choose which recovery instance to restart from? It seems that restarting the simulation always tries to recover the last instance (which makes sense), but I would like to choose a previous one.

Thank you, R

Hello Raimundo,

I was wondering if you were able to fix the problem? Also may I request you to suggest the command line for recovering the comsol file and resubmitting the same for simulation after terminated by HPC due to time limitation? I am simulating the large scale cfd problem which requires huge time to complete.

Thank you, Udayraj
