## <a name="restart"></a>Restarting a simulation
In case your simulation crashes or if you simply want to extend your simulation period, it is possible to run using the restart option (COMMAND option file: IPIN=1). You will need to decide if you will need this option before starting your initial simulation: LOUTRESTART in the COMMAND option file needs to be set to an appropriate time interval. For example, you can choose to set LOUTRESTART = 172800 s to get a new restart file ever 2 days. The restart files are written in binary and their name specifies the time within your simulation period they are written. When LOUTRESTART is set to -1, this option is disabled.
In case your simulation crashes or if you simply want to extend your simulation period, it is possible to run using the restart option (COMMAND option file: IPIN=1 or IPIN=4 when initially running with part_ic.nc). You will need to decide if you will need this option before starting your initial simulation: LOUTRESTART in the COMMAND option file needs to be set to an appropriate time interval. For example, you can choose to set LOUTRESTART = 172800 s to get a new restart file ever 2 days. The restart files are written in binary and their name specifies the time within your simulation period they are written. When LOUTRESTART is set to -1, this option is disabled.
To run from one of these files, simply rename the desired restart_XXX.bin file to restart.bin, set IPIN=1 and you can restart your run from there.
To run from one of these files, simply rename the desired restart_XXX.bin file to restart.bin, set IPIN=1 (or IPIN=4 when initially running with IPIN=3) and you can restart your run from there.
WARNING: If you chose to use gridded data output (IOUT>0), then new data will be written to this file. If it is not desirable to overwrite a gridded data output file from a previous run, copy this file to another directory.
