Do we need to to insert the servo walls again in the new input script if we already have restart file?

Hello everyone,

I am conducting a triaxial test for soil. I am running 2 simulations for this triaxial test . In the first simulation the particles were inserted and then consolidated with a confining pressure of 500 kPa. At the end of the this simulation, a restart file is generated.

Then I want to compress the specimen in the second simulation. However, I am confused on whether should I insert the servo walls again in the second simulation? I used "fix mesh/surface/stress/servo" command in the first simulation and the walls moved for a distance at the end of first simulation. If I should insert the walls again, should I change the "wall.stl" file in the second simulation to make the position of walls compatible with that at the end of first simulation?

Thank you, I really appreciate for your help!

Best regards,
Yuxuan
