I have a Thermal/Flow model that was created on a Windows system. I would like 

to run the job on a Linux system. The issue is that this is a restart solution 

and the restart fails everytime stating that it cannot locate the restart 

files. How can I preform a restart solution in this situation?

Solution

 The restart directory is hard coded into the input file created by NX. In 

order to run the restart job on a different system, either Linux or Windows, 

you must edit the xml file for the restart run and change the location for the 

restart files to match their current location. You are looking for a section 

labled "Restart Directory". The section in question will look like this:

 <Property name="Restart Directory"> 

 <Value>E:\restart_test\model1_sim1-ColdStart-0-1200S\</Value> 

 </Property>

You will need to edit this line with a text editor and change it to be the 

full path to the restart files on the system. For example it might look like 

this on a Linux system:

 <Property name="Restart Directory"> 

 <Value>/scratch/restart_testing/model1_sim1-ColdStart-0-1200S/</Value> 

 </Property>

Once this change is made, the restart will proceed normally.
