Command Line Interface

The Simulation Studio simstudio_batch routine accepts two command line arguments: -m and -e. The -m argument specifies the pathname for a Simulation Studio model you want to execute, and the -e argument specifies the experiment pathname. You can use this program to run simulation models from a Microsoft Windows command prompt.

Usually, you want to change directories to the directory where you installed Simulation Studio and launch simstudio_batch from that point. (The current default installation location is \Program Files\SASHome\SASSimulationStudio\<release_number>.)

A sample command line for executing a model-experiment pair looks like this:

$simstudio_batch -m projectsMyProjectMyModel.simmdl -e projectsMyProject
MyExperiment.simexp

Any data collected during the simulation execution is saved in a hierarchical results directory created in the directory where the simstudio_batch program was launched.
