Opening a Simulation file using JAVA Macro

Vibh · April 1, 2015, 08:39

Hi! I am writing a JAVA Macro for performing an arithmetic operation on an exported X,Y,Z Coordinates' file from STAR CCM+ to get a new set of X,Y and Z. To do so, I need to open in between a different Simulation file.
(For ex- If I have presently opened File0.sim, and on which my JAVA Macro is currently executing its commands. How do I, from Macro, open a different Simulation File1.sim?)
Is there a way to do this?

Any suggestion would be highly helpful!
Thank you!

I´m not an expert in Java scripting, but the starting point for me is always a recording. In your case File0.sim is open, start to record a Java macro, go to files, load simulation File1.sim, stop recording and have a look at the macro.

Two simulations are now open in your GUI and you can perform the next steps.

1. Open new session from a sim file (return nothing and scripts does not wait):

star.coremodule.OpenFile.open(simPath);
// wait seconds for fully initilizing
// the new session become active automatically.
Simulation sim=getActiveSimulation();

2. Get Simulation object from a sim file(doesn't visually open in a session):

Simulation sim = new Simulation(simPath);
// do something then close it...
sim.close(star.base.neo.ServerConnection.CloseOpti on.ForceClose);
