Note: the bed structure hotstart file will hotstart the bed layer thicknesses and bed sediment concentrations ONLY
(i.e. it will not hotstart the delbed , the suspended sediment concentration, or the hydrodynamics). If a standard
hotstart file is read in in addition to the bed structure hotstart, the bed layer thicknesses and the bed sediment
concentrations given in the bed structure hotstart will overwrite those values given in the standard hotstart.
