One option I can think about is to use the time matching feature. For the model output you probably know what is the time range for the last time, and you can use the "Time Animation Properties" widget to set the driver time and then let the model output to do the matching. Hope this can help. Yuan Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: WXB-258684 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Open
