Initial settings for modeling ?

When setting the simulation mode to pause, do they keep the initial settings?

When setting the simulation mode to pause, do they keep the initial settings?

When simulation is paused it should keep the same state than before pausing it, like it is "frozen" in that state.

And I recall that:
"When the running session starts, its initial state could be of any number (0 to F)", in case of the hex encoder.

Yes True. The code is not saved when the simulation is completely turned off.
Thank you !

Flipflops start at a random state, but this can be solved with some initial reset circuit, for example capacitor+resistor or better just a resistor+gate with initial state High:



Note that features like Gate initial state or Capacitor initial voltage were not available at the time these subciruits were made.

Because these are subcircuits, the previous state is lost when the simulation is turned off.
So these components will always start at a random state or 0 if a reset circuit is added.
