I have a model I need to run multiple (n=25) times, each time with different 'start' values. For every model, the COST function is used to optimise the model such that the model ends when the global optimisation is complete.
At the moment, I have the start values in a .csv file in 25 columns which I can access via the Import block. However, as Vissim stops after each model is optimised, to run the multiple models I need to manually tell it which of the models it is to run which involves telling the import function which column to access.
Please could you let me know if there is a way of doing two things: 1. Running all 25 models in sequence so I don't need to keep restarting the model myself manually. 2. Exporting data in such a way that at the end of each of the 25 models it saves the data in a separate data file (ie. so I end up with 25 data files). As far as I can see, using the Export block there is no way of setting the data filename automatically.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Many thanks
