When doing a motor start the Mbase of the motor must be specified (CON(J+11). You have entered 0, so you are starting a 0 MVA motor! The load is switched off in load flow and its size (MW,Mvar) has no importance at motor starting.
If you enter e.g. Mbase = 10 MVA and Tnom is 0.87, you will start a motor with 8.7 MW nominal load. The motor will start in the dynamic simulation when the load status is changed to 1.

An example of motor start is shown below, motor speed and torque are plotted. The motor is started at T=0.5 s.
