Spice - reload simulation to simulate further

[jkautsch]

Hi!

My problem is that I have a very large spice circuit to simulate and I
have to do this on a remote computer which is not very stable. My
simulations takes more then one day, but the remote computer often
crash before my simulation is finished (the crashes don't have
anything to do with my simulations). My question: Is it possible that
I simulate with spice only "a few" timesteps (so the simulation would
take i.e. 3 hours), so I can save my results then and start a new
simulation which starts at the end of the old simulation?

Until now I only know how to start always from zero on. I don't know
how to go on with a former simulation. Any suggestions? (I hope it's
not a too stupid question)

Regards, Jan

If the crashes have something to do with memory that has no error
checking, and drops a bit now and then, your simulations are probably
bad anyway.

Fix the computer.
