automation of simulations

hi guys
i am trying, in my simulation, to visualise the variation of the volume fraction. I will change the volume fraction in the inlet, and see what happens in the outlet. It is not a good idea to do it manually, so that i created my macro. What i want to do after is to create a file(.batch) with matlab, that automate all the simulations.
Can anyone here help me.
Thank you for your future answers.

You may try Optimate (see the corresponding chapter of the Manual) - the Design Sweeps option, in which you set parameters you want to vary (geometric and/or physical), range and step.

Or you may try in the way it is described in tutorial "Moving Reference Frames: Marine Propeller in Open Water": parameters are changed each X iterations, which i would not recommend because the amount of iterations per simulation is fixed independent of the convergence.
