### 3.3.1. Using Configuration Results to Provide Initial Values

If you are performing a multi-configuration simulation, then you can specify that Initial Values for a configuration are provided by `Configuration Results`. As far as the CFX-Solver is concerned, this behaves exactly the same as if the Initial Values are set to be read from a specified results file, and all the information about reading initial values from a file applies in exactly the same way. The only difference is that the actual location and exact name of the results file is not known until just before that configuration starts to run.
