Description

submitted 11/09/2010 into trac ticket system

Phil found when trying to add a cyclic boundary condition to his restart that it crashed if he defined his cycle time relative to time 0, i.e., times were entered as 0 30, 60, etc. If he defined his cycle to start at the restart time 17800, with 30 day increments, the boundary did not re-cycle every 30 days as desired. My guess is that the first cycle time became too big because the start time was a large number of days. See Phil for more info.

Research direction

Start by locating the cyclic boundary-condition and restart-handling code; no file or test is identified in the issue. Reproduce the reported cases with cycle times relative to 0 and to restart time 17800, then verify that the boundary recycles every 30 days without a crash.
