Hello HyperStudy Users,

In case you may wonder, “How can I leverage my machine to solve optimizations in several distinct studies while I go away for the weekend?”

The overall purpose is to execute automatically Study_1, Study_2, Study_3,…and solve all the approaches defined in each one.

The solution consists of automating the execution of distinct hstbatch sessions using a DOS *.bat file.

Below is an example of run_studies.bat file :

hst\bin\win64\hstbatch.exe -archivefile Study_1.hstx -overwrite
hst\bin\win64\hstbatch.exe -archivefile Study_2.hstx -overwrite
hst\bin\win64\hstbatch.exe -archivefile Study_3.hstx -overwrite

Once executed, it allows 3 hstbatch.exe sessions to run one after another; expanding the study archives and solving the approaches in each study (Setup and Optimization in this example).

Tip: You may prefer storing the .bat file and the archives in the same directory.

 

Thank you!
