Hi,

I have several simulations to be run by Star-CCM+. I'd like to perform the subsequent simulation automatically after the previous one has finished.

May I ask how can i do that in a batch file?

I have created the batch file as the following, but this time all cases run simultaneously. However, as i said, I'd like to run these .sim files sequentially.

@echo off
start /d "C:\.." starccm+.exe -load -np 8 "C:\..\first_case.sim" -batch "C:\..\run.java"
start /d "C:\.." starccm+.exe -load -np 8 "C:\..\second_case.sim" -batch "C:\..\run.java"
start /d "C:\.." starccm+.exe -load -np 8 "C:\..\third_case.sim" -batch "C:\..\run.java"
pause

Thanks in advance.

Hi Lazarus,

don't use the startprogram to run starccm (unless explicitely wanted).
Instead, call starccm+.exe directly.
You probably should do a quick websearch to find out more about batch syntax and the program start.

Moreover, you might want to redirect the output to some file.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Code:
@echo off
"C:\..\starccm+.exe" -load -np 8 "C:\..\first_case.sim" -batch "C:\..\run.java" > first_case.sim.log 2>&1
"C:\..\starccm+.exe" -load -np 8 "C:\..\second_case.sim" -batch "C:\..\run.java" > second_case.sim.log 2>&1
"C:\..\starccm+.exe" -load -np 8 "C:\..\third_case.sim" -batch "C:\..\run.java" > third_case.sim.log 2>&1
pause

I use the run.java file.
