Bool

Int

restart

If set, then restart from this file rather than from scratch.

String

None

geom_chk_read

Flag to read the EB geometry data from the geom_chk_file checkpoint file. If levelset refinement is enabled, levelset data is read from geom_levelset_chk_file.

Bool

false

repl_x

Int

1

repl_y

repl_z
