+It is sometimes convenient to submit jobs and let them run in the background. This easiest way to do this is to run the same step twice, with a variable `loadonly` that indicates whether we want to submit the job (when it is 0) or load results once the job is completed (1).
+{{{
+#!m
+%Do we need to submit the job or download the results?
+loadonly = 0;
+
+if perform(org,'Stepname')
+   loadmodel(org,'PreviousStepName');
+
+   %Make sure jobs are submitted without MATLAB waiting for the results, and job name is unique
+   md.settings.waitonlock = 0;
+   md.cluster.interactive = 0; %only needed if you are using the generic cluster
+   md.miscellaneous.name = 'YourJobName'; 
+
+  %Submit job or download results, make sure that there is no runtime name (that includes the date)
+   md=solve(md,'Transient','runtimename',false,'loadonly',loadonly);
+
+   %Save model if necessary
+   if  loadonly
+      savemodel(org,md);
+   end
+end
+}}}
+
+Now, to submit jobs, set `loadonly = 0` and launch your simulation. Once it is fully completed, you can set `loadonly = 1` and run the same script, all the results will be downloaded and the model will be saved with a unique name. Good luck!
