reset_timestep command :h3
[Syntax:]
reset_timestep N :pre
N = timestep number :ul
[Examples:]
reset_timestep 0
reset_timestep 4000000 :pre
[Description:]
Set the timestep counter to the specified value. This command
normally comes after the timestep has been set by reading it in from a
file or a previous simulation advanced the timestep.
The "read_data"_read_data.html and "create_box"_create_box.html
commands set the timestep to 0; the "read_restart"_read_restart.html
command sets the timestep to the value it had when the restart file
was written.
[Restrictions:] none
This command cannot be used when a dump file is defined via the
"dump"_dump.html command and has already been written to. It also
cannot be used when a "restart frequency"_restart.html has been set,
and a restart file has already been written. This is because the
changed timestep can mess up the planned timestep for the next file
write. See the "undump"_undump.html command or "restart
0"_restart.html command for info on how to turn off these definitions
if necessary. New specifications for dump and restart files can be
given after the reset_timestep command is used.
This command cannot be used when any fixes are defined that keep track
of time or the timestep in order to perform time-dependent operations.
Examples include the "ave" or "wall" fixes such as "fix
ave/spatial"_fix_ave_spatial.html or "fix
wall/lj126"_fix_wall_lj126.html, and also "fix
indent"_fix_indent.html. The wall and indeter fixes allow for a
velocity or other time-dependent parameter to be specified, which
would be messed up by resetting the timestep.
Restting the timestep will clear the flags for "computes"_compute.html
that may have calculated some quantity from a previous run. This
means that quantity cannot be accessed by a variable in between runs
until a new run is performed. See the "variable"_variable.html
command for more details.
