Restart Problems

Hi LIGGGHTS Users!

I have run into this problem where LIGGGHTS fails to restart in some cases (I guess when the particle-tri contacts are high) and exits with the following error:

Reading restart file ... orthogonal box = (-0.00065 -0.00072 0) to (0.00065 0.00072 0.002) 1 by 1 by 1 processor grid 2198 atoms Resetting global state of Fix zwallbottom Style wall/gran/hertz/history from restart file info Resetting per-atom state of Fix zwallbottom Style wall/gran/hertz/history from restart file info Importing STL file 'WireAssembly.stl' Solid body detected in STL file Growing STL input arrays Growing STL input arrays Growing STL input arrays End of solid body detected in STL file.

Otherwise, it restarts fine as shown below:
