Hi,

You also need to change the default initial time to the time when you terminate the previous run.

No, you don't. You may use the option "Automatic with Value". When this option is selected, the values are obtained from the Initial Values File.

If you stop a run, you may restart it using the original .def Definition File and the .res or the (full_).trn file as the Initial Values File
