AW: Control Trnsys by command line

["Timo Sengewald" <timo.sengewald@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jochen,

just add the option /n to your command:
Shell ("C:/trnsys15/trnsys fileXYZ.dck" /n). That will finish the
simulation without the dialog box.
Additionally I execute
Shell ("taskkill /im trnsys.exe /F")
in order to avoid that TRNSYS runs for any reason while my script is
doing the evaluation of the output files.

If you found a solution in VBA to stop the script until TRNSYS has
finished (by KNOWING that TRNSYS has finished and not by waiting some
time) I would be very happy to know about that.


Timo

Betreff: Control Trnsys by command line


Dear TRNSYS users,
 
is there a way to avoid the display of the 'simulation completed' dialog
after trnsys has finished simulating? I would like to do multiple
simulations in a kind of batch mode in VB by executing somthing like

Shell ("C:/trnsys15/trnsys fileXYZ.dck").

This works fine, but I have to confirm the mentioned dialog before I'm
able to work with the result files. That is quite tideous.

Of course there are some system near solutions like getting handle of
the dialog window and emulating the OK click, but my hope is that there
is a switch somewhere in a configuration file that tells trnsys to
finish simulating silently. I could not find something usefull in the
manual concerning this problem, but maybe someone has a good idea?

Thanks and regards,

Jochen
