Error while restarting with passive tracers about underworld2 HOT 7 CLOSED

Hey @jlikermanUPC, I'll move this to the UW2 repo and take a look! Thanks for reporting the issue.

Okay I've run a few tests, I'm not sure how your script is set up to restart the model but the following works:

1. Run the model setup script again, all the way to the original 'Model.run_for' line.
2. replace the Model.run_for with the restart parameters (e.g.) 'Model.run_for(1. * u.megayears, checkpoint_interval=0.007*u.megayears, restartStep=-1, restartDir=Model.outputDir )'
   This will load the last timestep and start the model again.

I've tested this on UW v2.13.1b with the following script. If your script still isn't working it would be easier to troubleshoot if I had access to it.

Cheers

Hi Ben!,

Indeed, it is working. And if I run my model a few steps, the restart also works. Could it be that if the passive tracers come out of the model, that's where the problem arises? I'll run some tests and keep you posted. If there are still problems, I'll share the script with you.

Thanks!

All good, let me know how it goes @jlikermanUPC

I just tried the test script again with a lower and larger number of particles than that created in the model so I don't think it's that. From the error message it is an error with a mapping function, which is usually a dictionary that maps the material to the material parameters (viscosity, density etc). I'm not sure why the passive tracers would be causing this to be honest. It usually occurs when there is a material index that isn't mapped to a density or viscosity value/function. Was your reload call (Model.run_for) before you'd set up the viscosity mapping to the materials?

Hey @jlikermanUPC, how did you get on?

Hi @bknight1, so far I haven't had errors again.

I'm going to close the issue for now.

Thanks!
