Data save and import

On a daily basis I use a large model which is driven by external data. To run the model with the complete external data set takes a lot of time. The only change from day to day is an extension of the data set with data from the last 24-hour period.

Are there any smart way to save all values, not only constants, at the end of the simulation run today, so that I tomorrow can load this values for the complete model and run the model with just the last 24-hour period data?

Simply use the resume option in the changes tab of the simulation control dialog. Then update final time, then simulate. Note that the model needs to be a .vmf model and you will need to adopt a sensible naming conventions for the daily simulations.
