Before we start running the model, we need to configure the model times. This can by done by adding the following line :

SetModelTimes(fmModel, startTime, endTime, time(6,0,0))

This sets the model start time, end time and timestep time-step to the times used in our timeseriestime series.

Now, we can run the model by adding using the runmodel RunModel statement :

RunModel(fmModel, showDialog = True)

This will run the whole model from start to end time time, so this what may take some time.

There is also an An alternative way to run a your model , like this :can be used by decomposing the run action into its different steps.

numberOfTimeSteps = int((fmModel.StopTime - fmModel.StartTime).TotalSeconds  / fmModel.TimeStep.TotalSeconds)

fmModel.Initialize()

for i in range(numberOfTimeSteps):
    fmModel.Execute()

fmModel.Finish()
fmModel.Cleanup()

Here In this way, you can control the run by calling the model run functions yourself , and maybe add your own logic for and, if you want, add some additional script code to be run at every time step.
