Hi,

Is there any way to put a simulation on hold without actually stopping it entirely when using Spectre/Ultrasim? This is a feature one sees so commonly in
digital simulators and is sometimes of great interest. The only ways I can think of are:

1. Write checkpoint files at regular intervals. Stop simulation and restart it from last checkpoint.
2. Hang the entire ICFB job with a kill -STOP and resume it later on. However, viewing results requires
opening a separate ADE session. Also you use an extra license even though your simulation is idling.

Is Cadence planning to add this feature to any future versions?
