TNG-Cluster Initial conditions

Dear TNG Team,

I'm working with the TNG-Cluster data and am looking for the file containing the initial conditions. Can you confirm whether the file found here https://www.tng-project.org/data/downloads/TNG-Cluster/ under "Download simulation.hdf5 File (775.5 MB)" contains the simulation's initial conditions at z=127.0?

If not, have they been made publicly available somewhere else?

Thanks in advance,
Arti

No, the simulation.hdf5 file is just a wrapper, as described in the documentation.

It doesn't contain the initial conditions.

For all the normal TNG simulations, the ICs are available as a separate (single HDF5) file download.

They are not yet available for TNG-Cluster, since the ICs are in fact 352 individual zoom ICs. If you are particularly interested in some aspect of them, perhaps we can make progress on releasing them.

Thanks for your answer. Indeed I'd be interested in using them to conduct a follow-up simulation, so I'd gladly hear if and when they're made available.
