Hi,

I think nektar++ can really benefit from using a "StartTime" for
writing the .chk files. Say that I want to generate several .chk during
a period of a vortex shedding. Right now I have two possibilities: (a)
start from initial conditions=0 which will generate a lot of
unnecessary .chk files because of the transient, or (b) run the
simulation (without writing any .chk) and then do a restart from the
.fld and write the .chk files. Because the transient will now be
shorter, the number of generated unnecessary .chk files will also be
smaller. In that sense, I think the Checkpoint fields filter could
implement some parameter to control the time step when to start writing
the chk files -- exactly the same (code) as for the aeroforces filter.

Cheers,
Guillermo
