[Rsiena-help] Simulating network without estimation

Dear RSiena experts,

What I want to do is simulate a network (or a couple of them) using the 
coefficients gained from an earlier estimation procedure. I basically 
want to do in SIENA what these lines of code do for the ERGM model:

library(statnet)  ## to get the random graph function rgraph
random = rgraph(20,m=1,tprob=0.2) ## Create a random graph as basis for 
the simulation
simulation = simulate(random ~ edges + odegree(c(1))+ transitive, 
coef=(1:3), nsim=10) # Simulate 10 networks using the ERGM model 
formulation and fixed parameters
summary(simulation)

Is there any way of doing something similar with SIENA?
Thank you so much for your help!
All the best,
Christoph
