Todd,
I am using GENOPT to run optimizations of my TRNSYS projects. I am already using the /N command line switch so that the <continue> button does not need to be clicked after each simulation, however I cannot use my computer for anything else while the optimization is running because each time TRNExe.exe is called it takes focus (i.e. becomes the active window). Is there a command line switch that runs TRNExe.exe in the background??
In TRNSYS 15 there is a way to do this: just change the 2nd line in cnfgtr.trn. This file is in your Trnsys15 directory but you can also place a copy in the deck file directory, which I would recommend in this case. In the "local" copy, change:
Y -> DISPLAY SIMULATION STATUS DURING RUN TIME? [Y OR N] to N -> DISPLAY SIMULATION STATUS DURING RUN TIME? [Y OR N] And TRNSYS 15 will run without creating a window. This feature has not been implemented in TRNSYS 16 yet. I hope this helps, Michaël Kummert -- _________________________________________________________ Michaël Kummert Solar Energy Laboratory - University of Wisconsin-Madison 1303 Engr Res Bldg, 1500 Engineering Drive Madison, WI 53706 Tel: +1 (608) 263-1589 Fax: +1 (608) 262-8464 E-mail: kummert@engr.wisc.edu SEL Web Site: http://sel.me.wisc.edu TRNSYS Web Site: http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys
