Assistance with Macros

Urodele · March 3, 2018, 12:56

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if it is possible to use a macro to run multiple simulations without me having to execute each one (i.e. I start the macro, it iterates the first file 250 times, goes to the second file and runs that 250 times, etc...).

I am not familiar with macros, nor with Java, so any assistance with this, either a direct answer and/or a point toward some resources would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, but it's more trouble than it's worth. It's exponentially easier to make a macro to just run 1 sim file and loop over sim files with a shell script.

Alternatively you can use design manager to run a series of runs.

Hi Urodele,

do you have access to the Steve Portal?

They have a page over there solving your question:
