About Model Units.

Is it possible to change the Model Start Time using FlexScript?

What FlexScript do I need to write?

You should use the DateTime constructor.

For versions 21.1 and later use:

DateTime startTime = DateTime("9/11/2020 07:00:00", "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S"); 
function_s(getmodelunit(START_TIME_NODE), "setDateTime", startTime);

If you want the warmup and stop times to keep the same relative model times you should update them too:

// Update the warmup and stop times so they keep the same model times
treenode warmupNode = getmodelunit(WARMUP_TIME_NODE);
function_s(warmupNode, "setModelTime", getsdtvalue(warmupNode, "modelTime"));

treenode stopNodes = getmodelunit(STOP_TIME_NODE);
for (int i = 1; i <= stopNodes.subnodes.length; i++) {
    treenode stopNode = stopNodes.subnodes;
    function_s(stopNode, "setModelTime", getsdtvalue(stopNode, "modelTime"));
}

For versions 20.0 - 21.0 use:

DateTime newStartTime = DateTime("9/11/2020 07:00:00", "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S"); 
treenode startNode = getmodelunit(START_TIME_NODE); 
startNode.value = newStartTime.value; 
applicationcommand("convertunixtime", startNode, startNode.value);

For versions before 20.0:
