I'm putting this here because it applies to all, or at least a number of, modules.
I'm doing some lengthy simulations in MIKE3 HD FM, and we sometimes suffer from power cuts (and don't currently have a UPS available). These power cuts sometimes cost me days of runtime, as I have to start the simulation again.
One way to deal with this might be to save a full volume output of the entire domain, as it should be possible to use this to provide initial conditions to continue the run. However, this would be hundreds of gigabytes.
I am told that some other modelling software has the facility to create "resume" files that contain the full state of the model at just the last timestep - and so are overwritten on each time step so that only one time step is stored. This could make it simple to resume after an interruption.
Does MIKE have this facility in some hidden corner? If not, perhaps it should be a feature request!
