You can have a data member in some class that will not be registered as
serializable, and can reset it to the default value in the class'
constructor. See UniaxialStrainer::needsInit.

If you think it is reasonable, O.iter can be made writable, then it
would be possible:

 O.load('simulation.xml'); O.iter=0;
