Hello experts, Why is acuview re-computing Hemicubes when I restart the solution. It should be using the previous data right?

Thank you

    The default behavior for restart is to go through everything again (acuPrep, acuView) in case things have changed.

    I would try adding     -do prep,solve      to your launch command, so that it skips the view factors step.  It should then re-use what is already on the disk.

    should I add "-do prep,solve" in additional arguments?

    Thank you

    Yes - that is where you would add those options.
