Is it possible to continue an unfinished static calculation?

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to continue a static energy calculation that was cut off due to insufficient time, and if so what files would need to be updated.

Thanks!

The WAVECAR contains the wavefunctions but unfortunately it is only written after the last electronic step. So it's not possible to continue.
