| - | ====== Batch Files .EBF ====== | ||
| - | ===== Overview ===== | ||
| - | If you have several simulation tasks to do or you want to see your CPU glow, the best to do is to create an **ENVI-met Batch File** (.EBF).\\ | ||
| - | A batch file is a simple text-based list of up to 50 different [[Configuration File|Main Configuration Files]] that will be processed sequentially. | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can create an ENVI-met batch file with any text editor or use the standard configuration editor from ENVI-met. Please make sure that your file contains no formatting instructions or other non-text information. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The file structure of the batch file is extremly simple: | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | 00: A remark line | ||
| - | 01: MyConfiguration1.cf | ||
| - | 02: MyConfiguration2.cf | ||
| - | 03: MyConfiguration3.cf | ||
| - | ... | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | The first line is a remark line that will be ignored by ENVI-met.\\ | ||
| - | Then, a list of Main Configuration files follows. ENVI-met can store up to 50 simulation tasks in one batch file- that should be enough even for a longer weekend... | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Using Batch files... ===== | ||
| - | The first step to do is to create the single configuration files and **test them individually** using the [[test model|Test Model Function]].\\ | ||
| - | Note, that if one of the files in your batch will cause ENVI-met to stop running, the remaining files will not be processed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Then, create your batch file by writing up all the configuration names in the sequence you want them to be processed. You can add folder/path names, but the usage of [[Defining Alias MYALIAS.DAT|alias names]] is not allowed in the batch file itself. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To start your batch file, go to the [[Run Model|Control Panel]] and press //Run/Test Batch//: | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{ : | ||
| - | |||
| - | The dialog lists all configurations in the batch file.\\ | ||
| - | If you are unsure if your files are all available now, you can press the //Test Files in Batch// button. This will work like the //Test// command for an individual file, but will process the whole batch file.\\ | ||
| - | If anything is fine, you can click //Start Batch// and leave the computer alone for some time. | ||
