Batch Manager 1.0. A Program for Generating Multiple Simulations with ACSL (TradeName). Methodology Report

摘要

This document is a user's manual for the software program Batch Manager. TheBatch Manager is a program for making multiple simulations with an ACSL (Advanced Continuous Simulation Language) model or creating an ACSL command file. The program is designed to make this easier for the user. All inputs (constants) and outputs (variables) are controlled through a GUI. One general problem, when producing multiple simulations, is that if one simulation fails, because of a flaw in the model, the batch job will terminate at that point and has to be restored manually. The Batch Manager however, is designed to keep running even if one run fails. All constants in an ACSL model can be viewed and set from the Batch Manager. They can be stepped or randomly chosen within limits set by the user. Apart from this, any of the variables can be selected and will be saved with their final values when the simulations are terminated if the simulations are started from the Batch Manager.
