*REST: Restart File

*REST

a1

a1: a80: Restart file path and dependent restart file input name name, without the .in extension. a1 is appended by _r.bin during simulation.

This option is used when restarting a part-scale LPBF analysis, and allows the user to specify the name of the restart file being used. This functionality is not enabled for moving source models. This requires a previous simulation being run with the *ORES card. The path needs to be included, as the solver will access more files than merely the *r.bin file. Typically this will be the results folder.
