Add points to a finished sweep

A finished sweep leaves its decomposed mesh and one set of converged fields per point. submit_sweep can start a new job from them, so a gap in a polar is filled on the identical mesh without meshing again.

Find the starting point

job_status on the finished sweep lists its points with start and end. Pick the point nearest the angles you want; its end is the time level whose fields the new job starts from.

points: a6.7 0-620, a4 620-1280, a0 1280-2080, a-4 2080-2880,
        a-8 2880-3680, a8 3680-4480, a11 4480-5280, a14 5280-6080

To fill in 9.5 and 10 degrees, start from alpha 8, whose fields end at 4480.

Submit

submit_sweep({
  "from_job": "flight-sweep-fine-087a44e8",
  "start_time": 4480,
  "points": [{"alpha": 9.5}, {"alpha": 10}],
  "iters_per_point": 800,
  "stop": "watcher"
})

The new job copies processor*/constant (the mesh) and only the 4480 time level, so it is a gigabyte rather than the finished sweep’s 18, and the submit returns in seconds. Its steps start at setPoint0: there is no blockMesh, decomposePar or snappyHexMesh. The new points are numbered 0 and 1 in the new job, and the job keeps the source job’s case name.

Leave out start_time and it starts from the latest level, which for a sweep is its last point.

Code	Meaning
`from_job_missing`	no job by that id on this server
`from_job_running`	the source job has not finished; wait for it
`from_job_no_mesh`	the source job has no mesh to reuse
`start_time_missing`	that time level is not in the source job; check `job_status` points
