PsimCmd in the command prompt doesn't return to new line. How to fix this?

Aakash Kamalapur

Hi,

I am using the PsimCmd to automate simulations from MATLAB, which doesn't return to new line after it has finished execution. This is really important so that I can start the next simulation. Can someone please help me with this?

Thank You,

how are you calling PSIM is this from a batch file? what version of PSIM are you using?

I see you are calling a file that is on your onedrive, I would recommend against scripting simulations that are on onedrive. run the sims in a local folder.

There are some examples in the examples\command line folder this ".bat" one should generate 5 output files.

Of note you can chose to save the simulation results as a .mat file.

 

Please let me know which version you have

I am using PSIM 2022.2. I am calling the command from the command prompt as follows. Based on what you recommended, I have changed the location of the sim file to a local folder. But the PsimCmd never comes to the new line. I need to run a new simulation with updated parameters but the command prompt never seems to finish the PsimCmd

Even the bat file in the examples doesn't come to new line. I have a script in MATLAB that generates new parameters for each new simulation iteration, however the PsimCmd doesn't return to the new line after it has finished developing the desired output file. This is critical for me so that the command prompt can be prepared for running the new iteration.

are you running a batch file?

you might be better off running with scripts. here is a tutorial video

you can use the asimulate command to run scripts in parallel. I just found an issue with the batch file exectution and have made a bug report. 

try using scripts there are plenty of examples in the examples folder.

my 2022.2 runs gives the "exiting" command once it is finished.

C:\Altair\PSIM_2022.2\examples\Command Line>..\..\PsimCmd.exe -i "L-C filter upstream link.sch" -o "out40.txt" -v "Ro=40" -g
File Open Successful.
Simulation Successful.
  Exiting.

try with the scripting tool.

Hi,

Mine doesn't do an exit. Could you please send me the file or instructions to run things in the command prompt with the "exit" 

 

Thank you,

I have asked some colleagues to look into the batch command. it looks like there is a problem.

 

I would suggest running a  PSIM script. there are many examples and a tutorials in help->tutorial

This was a bug in PSIM2022. It is fixed in PSIM2023.0

Hi, 

I'm using the PSIM2023.0 and appears it not working properly yet.
