[EnergyPlus_Support] Creating an artificial warm up/convergence file



In an effort to reduce the runtime for a complex optimization process using GenOpt, I was wondering if there was a way to create a file that E+ could reference to that would contain all data generated during the warm up process.  In this way the simulation could skip the warm up phase and move directly to calculating the new configuration with this data.  I am also looking for a means to save this same data from the energy model in the final moment of the calculation process to then feed back into E+, resulting in a sort of `pause' button for the E+ program.

By saving a few seconds during the simulation process the time savings will add up significantly when running thousands of iterations.

Cheers -- James
