Hello all

I need to change some values of ~200 files, which are then run in batch.

I have recorded a little macro for changing these values, but how to batch-run both the simulations and the macro ?

something along the line of
"starccm+ -batch -np 4 -podkey key -licpath path -power MyMacro.java File(number).sim;

The batch command however just runs the macro. How do i achieve

loading simulation--->chaning values via macro--->running the changed simulations

in a batch environment?

start recording the macro, change your required values and start the run. Stop it after few iterations and stop recording the macro.

Your macro would now have a line like this at the end:

simulation_0.getSimulationIterator().run();

Running this macro would then run your simulation after making changes in values.

Thanks for the reply. Indeed, "simulation_0.getSimulationIterator().run();" is present in the macro.

However,

If i specify -macro in the .sh file, it opens the gui, which is not preferable.

If i specify -batch, i cant seem to open both the .sim file, and the macro.

How would i get around this?

The correct batch command is:
starccm+ -batch -np 4 -podkey key -licpath path -power -batch MyMacro.java File(number).sim

the java macro is the argument of the -batch flag.

That did the trick. Problem solved, thank you!
