If users forget to turn on +checkpoints, a checkpoint will automatically be created every 10 minutes of wall time or when the +current time step converges, whichever occurs later. The wall time output interval can be adjusted +by changing the value of the [!param](/Outputs/Checkpoint/wall_time_interval) parameter (in seconds) +in the checkpoint definition. + ## libMesh-level Changes ### `2024.02.28` Update - Added capability to read and write sparse matrices in the - ASCII/Matlab format used by PETSc. + ASCII/Matlab format used by PETSc. - Added capability to read mesh constraint rows from an arbitrary sparse matrix. This will enable IGA solves on more flexible meshes without perfect body fit domains.
