<p>While I'm not quite sure why you might want to do that, there are certainly ways to do it. The easiest is probably to use the input delay controller in the TESS controls library if you have it and set the "hold" time to something large. I'm sure there are other clever ways that accomplish the same thing. You could integrate an equation that has the output multiplied by a forcing function where the forcing function is one only at the first timestep and 0 otherwise.</p>

<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>In certain simulation, can I make a component run for one time step only and give the same outputs for the rest of the simulation??</p>
