## 2.5. Restarting a Run

A CFX-Solver run that has stopped may be restarted for the following reasons:

- The CFX-Solver stopped prematurely, at your request, and now needs to continue running.

- More timesteps are needed to extend the duration of a transient analysis, or more iterations are needed to reach a required level of convergence for a steady-state analysis.

Such restarts are particularly useful because they continue the analysis from where it left off, which is often much more efficient than re-running the analysis from the original CFX-Solver Input file. For each restart, a new workspace is created and the previously saved solver manager state is loaded.

The following discussions describe restarting simulations from CFX-Solver Results files using the same or modified settings:
