Restore Workbench results after crash

      Hello everyone,


      I have a question about restoring previously obtained Workbench results. I was away from work for a few days and while I was gone, my computer lost power, causing an open Workbench session to close. I wasn't running any simulations at the time, but my Workbench window eliminated a few Analysis Systems that had previously solved. I've included a picture below of what Workbench displayed when I opened the program after restarting my computer. Before the crash, there were 9 Analysis Systems present in Workbench.



      Now, I can tell that the missing simulations and results haven't been deleted for good, because when I open the program_files directory, there are 9 SYS folders inside the dp0 folder (I'm assuming each SYS folder correlates with one Analysis System, please correct me if I'm wrong).


      My question is, how can I restore my results? Each SYS folder has an associated .rst file, is there a way to pull those results back into Workbench?


      I'm happy to provide more information as necessary. Thank you in advance!

      Copy the project folder somewhere safe: this stops anything happening to the data. When you open the (original) project see if you are offered a restore option. If not, add a new work flow and see if you can import the .rst into the Set-up/Solution cell.
