Dear all,<br>
I would like to restart a simulation from a checkpoint enlarging the finest<br>
refinement level in my grid. In particular, I would like to change<br>
CarpetRegrid2::radius_1[5]<br>
= 20.1 to CarpetRegrid2::radius_1[5] = 25. I tried to do that by making the<br>
parameter CarpetRegrid2::radius_1 always steerable and adding the<br>
following lines to my parameter file:<br>
<br>
<br>
ActiveThorns                                = &quot;Trigger&quot;<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Number                     = 1<br>
<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Checked_Variable[0]        = &quot;hydrobase::rho&quot;<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Relation[0]                = &quot;&gt;&quot;<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Checked_Value[0]           = 1.e-4<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Reduction[0]               = &quot;maximum&quot;<br>
<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Reaction[0]                = &quot;steerparam&quot;<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Steered_Parameter_Thorn[0] = &quot;CarpetRegrid2&quot;<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Steered_Parameter_Name[0]  = &quot;radius_1[5]&quot;<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Steered_Parameter_Value[0] = &quot;25.&quot; #New value of the above<br>
parameter<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Once[0]                    = 1     #It means &quot;yes&quot;<br>
Trigger::Trigger_Debug                      = 1     #It means &quot;yes&quot;<br>
<br>
<br>
In this way, the trigger should act immediately, as the maximum of rho is<br>
~1e-3 in my case. Indeed, it looks like the trigger is working fine, as the<br>
standard output says<br>
<br>
[...]<br>
INFO (Trigger): Testing triggers<br>
INFO (Trigger): last_checked: -1<br>
INFO (Trigger): reducing trigger 0 red_handle 2 varindex 428<br>
INFO (Trigger): reducing was ok<br>
INFO (Trigger): trigger nr. 0 fullfilled for rho (0.000804&gt;0.000100)<br>
INFO (Trigger): Steering parameter<br>
INFO (Trigger): Parameter steered<br>
[...]<br>
<br>
but unfortunately, looking at the 2D output with VisIt, the finest<br>
refinement level does not get enlarged (i.e. radius_1[5] does not appear to<br>
have been steered at all). Do you have any suggestions on how to get this<br>
trigger to work? Or, are you aware of other ways of obtaining the same<br>
result without using the thorn Trigger?<br>
<br>
I attach the parameter file in case you need it.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance for your help.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Lorenzo Ennoggi<br>
