Frequency of Writing Restart-file

As ``Frequency of writing restart-file every analysis-step'' you specify after how many analysis steps a restart file is written to the directory containing the other lis-files. The name of the restart file is given in the control file (default name restart.lis). A restart file contains all the information necessary to continue calculation at the current integration step in the event of a subsequent interruption. At startup, EGO automatically looks for the restart file specified in the control file and continues the calculation from that point rather than starting over. Typical values of writing restart files range between 10 to 1000. Note: At the end of a simulation run a restart file is created automatically!
