I have a large A/View model that always starts out with the same "short" dynamic event, and then gets sent to several other subsequent events. Looking at the SAVE & RELOAD commands, it seems I should be able to do something like the following two major tasks... Configure the model as needed Make my short run via an initial.acf in batch. Issue "SAVE/SYSTEM, FILE=initial.sav" at the end of the initial.acf This file is now sitting on my hard drive, then... Create a desired_run.acf file The first line should be "RELOAD/SYSTEM, FILE=initial.sav, OUTPUT_PREFIX=Test_out" Solve in batch Etc. with other desired runs When I try this, I get the following error in the .msg file... command: ! Insert ACF commands here: command: command: RELOAD/SYSTEM, FILE=initial.sav, OUTPUT_PREFIX=Test_out ---- START: WARNING ---- Problem reading FILE=initial.sav referenced in RELOAD/SYSTEM command.

Use of SAVE & RELOAD

I have a large A/View model that always starts out with the same "short" dynamic event, and then gets sent to several other subsequent events. Looking at the SAVE & RELOAD commands, it seems I should be able to do something like the following two major tasks...

Configure the model as needed
Make my short run via an initial.acf in batch.
Issue "SAVE/SYSTEM, FILE=initial.sav" at the end of the initial.acf

This file is now sitting on my hard drive, then...

Create a desired_run.acf file
The first line should be "RELOAD/SYSTEM, FILE=initial.sav, OUTPUT_PREFIX=Test_out"
Solve in batch
Etc. with other desired runs

When I try this, I get the following error in the .msg file...

command: ! Insert ACF commands here:

command:

command: RELOAD/SYSTEM, FILE=initial.sav, OUTPUT_PREFIX=Test_out

---- START: WARNING ----

Problem reading FILE=initial.sav referenced in RELOAD/SYSTEM command.

Check spelling and/or existence of file. File names are case sensitive.

Command aborted.

---- END: WARNING ---

Is my interpretation of how this should work correct? Any thoughts?

I had to read up on this again from the Online Help to see if I remembered correctly, but unfortunately I did.

The problem with the solver SAVE/SYSTEM and RELOAD/SYSTEM is that when you use these, you really do save and reload the whole system including everything. This means that no matter what adm-file you have in your "desired_run", when you use the RELOAD/SYSTEM, you reload the full model of the "initial" run. Hence any breaking or other stuff you would have added is not preserved.

So to use this, you will actually have to do what is suggested in the Adams Solver Online Help for the SAVE and RELOAD commands - do the modifications to the model from the acf-file. This is possible, but can be quite cumbersome.
