Message 10213

TUFLOW FV
Available since version: 2026.2.0
WARNING 10213 - Unable to open restart file

Description

When reading a restart file, TUFLOW FV also attempts to read companion restart files for optional model components such as turbulence state (_turb.rst) and ice state (_ice.rst). This warning is raised when a companion restart file cannot be opened. The simulation continues with default initial conditions for the affected component.

Suggestions

This warning is expected when using a restart file from a simulation that did not include the same model components. For example, using a restart from a simulation run without a turbulence closure scheme to initialise a model that includes one. In this case the warning can be ignored.

If the companion restart file is expected to exist, check that the file path is correct and that the file has not been moved or deleted.
