ERROR 10207 - Error reading restart file

Description

Raised when reading a binary restart file fails after the file has been opened successfully. This applies to the hydrodynamic (.rst), turbulence (_turb.rst), sediment (_bed.rst) and particle tracking restart files (_ptm.rst).

Suggestions

Check that the restart file is not corrupt or truncated. If the restart file was generated by a different model version or configuration it may be incompatible. If the restart has been manually edited, check the file has not been corrupted or the dimensions altered from the original.

Check that the correct restart file is being read for the required command. A common error is to attempt to read a restart file with the wrong command. The compatible restart file for each command is as follows.

  • The Restart File == command in the .fvc will read a restart file generated by the hydrodynamic engine, which have a .rst extension with no additional file suffix. If a _turb.rst with the same name exists in the same directory it will be read automatically. For example Restart File == log/my_run_001.rst will read log/my_run_001.rst and log/my_run_001_turb.rst if it exists.
  • The sediment control file Bed Restart File == command should be used to read the _bed.rst file
  • The particle tracking control file Particle Restart File == command should be used to read the _ptm.rst file.
