Saving the state of a transient model does not include deformed mesh.

pf4d

Dear users and developers,

Saving the transient model with savevars() appears to not include the mesh evolution. For example, here is the surface topography interpolated onto the final mesh, which is actually the initial mesh:

Initial mesh

Is there an easy way to get the deformed mesh, too?

Thanks!

anyone?

Hi Evan,
By default your model "md" is NOT changed after you solve for something. All your results are in md.results. If you want to update the model fields (mesh, mask, ... ) as a function of the solution, you need to do it manually. I wrote a function in MATLAB to do that: transientrestart.m. Take a look and do not hesitate to write a python equivalent (I can add it to the code once it works if you would like).
I hope this helps
Best
Mathieu
