Hi Bernd and Philipp,
 
I truly appreciate the feedback, however, my frustration is that I do not have 
the restart files. 
 
My understanding is that restart should be ON by default, and a series of *.drs 
files should be generated. However, In my simulation, I do not have any *.drs 
files. I only have VTK result files. This is the case not only for my code, but 
for the standard tests.
 
So my question is that how can I turn ON restart capability, so I will have the 
*.drs files generated?
 
Sorry about the confusion.
 
Best regards,
-Shawn

Hi Shawn,

an addition: you can change the default behavior of writing a restart 
file every 10 time steps by overwriting the routine 
shouldWriteRestartFile from the box problem, i.e., by copying it from 
dumux/common/boxmodels/boxproblem.hh into your specific problem class 
and adapting it to your needs.

Kind regards
Bernd
