Loading saved project and data loss

Post by monacellif »

Hi everybody,
I am experiencing data loss in saving and reloading projects.
When I load a saved project I see geometry and mesh but all other conditions are lost (equations, BC, materials...).
It seems the same problem described here (I have installed the latest version 27/03/2015) viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2690
Did anyone come to a solution?

Hi,

as I said in the other thread: the solution is not to reload an already loaded project. It is not necessary. Only load projects with a freshly opened ElmerGUI. This is a bug in ElmerGUI which is probably not straightforward to fix, and the development resources for ElmerGUI are limited...

Hi,

why did you reload project?

I want to say,

you can save sif to another name firstly.

and than

after you reload ,you can re-edit the sif to that you have saved.

Attantion,

you need to modify the file ELMERSOLVER_STARTINFO.

e.g change case.sif to that "another name.sif"

Hi, everybody.
I think I have solved the problem, it is related to having loaded any non standard DEFINITION (File->Definitions->Append -> ***.xml).
If you load any of them, you firstly need to reload it in order to have the project correctly resumed.
Usually I save the whole bunch of definitions with the command Save As in the Elmer Definitions File Editor and then reload them on the new opening of the Elmer GUI.
