Q. I run a batch file to create an FEA model and run it with FLOTRAN. The results differ depending on whether or not I put a SAVE/RESUME in the input stream before the SOLVE. Why is this?

A. You must be using the SPARSE DIRECT solver for pressure! The save/resume is required for such cases. If you use the default solver (PCCG) this will not happen, and the results will be the same regardless of whether or not the save/resume is there.
