Wrong timestep in climate file
Posted: Sun Nov 07, 2021 5:49 am -1100
I have made simulations of moisture transfer in wood which a numerical challenging.
Therefore i have tried many different timesteps: from 300s to 3600s.
Usually this works well but sometimes the program gets "stuck" and will take the wrong step in the climate file.
This means that the simulated period is correct, e.g. 26280 steps with a timestep 1200s = 1 year
But when i look att the output is obvious that the climate file is used two whole times, meaning that the program has extrapolated this as two years.
I have tried to make a completely new model and this will work. But that is not a practical solution.
So now i wonder.
1) Is this a known problem?
2) Do you know how i can "reset" the reading of the climate file so it actually fits the current timestep?
