Dear All, Is there a way in EP to forgo the initial warmup calculations?

let's say we have run EP for a building from time = 0 hour to time = 2 hour, and we store the output data about thermal state of the house and CLOSE the EP sesison.

Next time I need to simulate the same house from time 2 hours to time 3 hours. I will definitely have to open a fresh EP session to do so, and it will go over the warm up period again.

I want to save this time spent on warmup calculations, because from the previous run (from time = 0 to time = 2), I already have the thermal condition of the house at the end of time t = 2. Is there a way to provide this information to the new EP session, so that it does not do warmup calculations again?

Appreciate any help, thank you, -Ashish
