Dear all,
In my Input script I have a command
restart 1000 Stress.restart

and it shows an error
ERROR on proc 0: Cannot open restart file Stress.restart.1000 (../write_restart.cpp:263)

Do you have any suggestions? I use 15th May 2015 version of LAMMPS.

do you have write access to the directory that you want to write the restart to?
does it have sufficient disk space?

this highly likely an issue outside of LAMMPS. the error message can
only happen when the library call to open a file for writing failed.

Hi Axel,
Do I need to install some specific package?

Hi Axel,
Do I need to install some specific package?

no. you just need to be able to create files in the working directory
of your simulation. i've already given you the two most likely reasons
for not being able to do that.
this is basic unix/linux stuff and has nothing to do with LAMMPS.
please talk to somebody local for help, if you don't know about this.
