The "or" sounds a bit as if both options are fine. From my understanding, the start value shall be used and the fallback value only, if there is no start value? Maybe we can make that little bit more explicit?

I'm not fully satisfied with the "simulation environment" part, but I didn't want to get too deep in the FMI (and other environments) here.
