    Hi Stephen,

     

    thanks for the reply. I actually have the 0.h5 file downloaded. I did not change anything during the simulation run and used the same EDEM version. I'm not sure about the read/write permission part of your answer.. The cluster runs linux and i'm using Windows locally to view the results. Worked well in the past but now suddenly i get the error.. I can re-run the sims but i'm not sure what i can change to make it work.

     

    Kind regards

    Hi Clemens,

    It sounds like there may have been some file corruption either during processing or downloading.  Did you re-download the .dem and .dfg files also.

     

    One option is to open a blank EDEM deck and go to the Analyst > File > open and choose the files as this opens from the first time-step rather than the last.  Also you can try deleting/renaming the .dfg file so this gets recreated with default properties (for the simulator and analyst) and can sometimes help.

    Regards

    Stephen
