Run in Batch Mode

The batch mode option is especially useful for process automation, optimization, and other repetitive simulation tasks.

Run in Batch Mode on Windows

Invoke the script: <installation_directory>\Activate_batch.bat, and then enter either Activate model files (.scm files) or OML scripts (.oml files) as input arguments preceded with –f. For example, for an OML script, enter Activate_batch.bat -f name.oml. For a .scm file, enter Activate_batch.bat -f name.scm
Note: If the model file contains graphical windows, such as plot windows for Scope blocks, the windows are not generated or displayed.

Run in Batch Mode on Linux

Invoke the script: <installation_directory>/scripts/Activate_batch, and then enter either Activate model files (.scm files) or OML scripts (.oml files) as input arguments preceded with –f. For example, for an OML script, enter Activate_batch -f name.oml. For a .scm file, enter Activate_batch -f name.scm
Note: If the model file contains graphical windows, such as plot windows for Scope blocks, the windows are not generated or displayed.
