Description
For large (mf6) models it is inconvenient to run them using the .run() function of MF6 (too risky within a script, preference to run on a different computer than generating input etc). That means that the .open_head etc functions cannot be used, and the low-level functions must be used.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to have a light way of opening a mf6sim object after (different script) the model has been run, so the open_head etc functions are easily available. Like a .from_file, with an additional 'rundir' argument or something. But preferably without much reading input data overhead, just what is necessary (dis?). And allowing for parallel calculations.

Research direction
Start at the MF6sim .run() and .open_head entry points, then trace how a separately run model could be reopened through a .from_file-style path with a rundir. Done means an MF6sim object can access .open_head and similar functions without unnecessary input-reading overhead, including when parallel calculations are used.
