+        Parameters
+        ----------
+        results : SimulationResults
+            Results from a prior simulation
+        ts : int, optional
+            The time value (in seconds) from the results to use to select initial conditions,

+        warn : bool
+            Send a warning to the logger that the rule has been deleted, by default False.
