error reading restart file

Question

Hi Chris,

While trying to start my simulation using a "restart_final.unf" file, I came up with the following error and the model crashes at the very beginning. Here is the log:

01:22:19  INFO:  * NOTE: Reading restart file: infiles/restart_final.unf
01:22:19  INFO:  ***** FATAL ERROR **** FATAL ERROR **** FATAL ERROR *****
01:22:19  INFO:  * in subroutine read_int                                        
01:22:19  INFO:  * Error reading int from file infiles/restart_final.unf
01:22:19  INFO:  * Expected value 4803
01:22:19  INFO:  * Read value 4808
01:22:19  INFO:  *********************************************************

I would appreciate your help. Thank you

Cheers,
Behnam

Hi Behnam,

This usually means something has changed in your grid.  Have you modified your bathymetry between restarting?

Chris,

I'm getting the same error.  All I did was move my AEM3D model folders from old  to new computer.  Downloaded new executables, installed the .dll files.  Tried an older executable and get the error, "***** FATAL ERROR **** FATAL ERROR **** FATAL ERROR *****
 * in subroutine read_and_convert_real1D
 * Error reading dz_zf from file infiles/usedata.unf
 *********************************************************".

Hi Reed, you will need to re run pre_aem3d with the new executable.
