How to Continue Simulation from a Saved State Using .fst File?

I am using Flexsim 2022 and have saved my model's results as an .fst file after running the first part of my simulation. For instance, I have data from January to December. I initially ran the simulation for January and saved the state as an .fst file.

Next time I open the model, I want to continue the simulation from the end of January, starting in February. However, when I load the .fst file and try to continue the run, it always starts over from the beginning instead of continuing from where I stopped.

I have changed all my time into seconds, so if I change the starting time, the results will be affected. I am wondering if there is any way to not change the starting time?

Is there a way to properly continue the simulation from the point where it was left off using the .fsf file? Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!

This is (sadly) not possible. The state file does not include pending events. Depending on how your model is setup, it might be an option to just remove the data for january, so the simulation idles during that time?

Thank you @Felix Möhlmann , but the data will not be removed. I need to keep what I have for the complete simulation.
