Vincent -
Actually there is a way - but it's kind of sneaky! Set the control cards you wish to change to STRINGS and give them equation names: STARTTIME, STOPTIME, TIMESTEP, ATOL, DTOL etc,
Then drag out one of the equation components and define these equation names / values for one of your cases. Make sure to change the name of the equation component to something descriptive: MAY_JUNE_0PT25HOURS for example When you are finished, test it to make sure it runs and then right click on the equation component in the assembly window and choose SAVE. Pick a location in the Studio/Proformas directory that you'll remember and save it there. Repeat this process for each of the simulation cards that you wish to create. Then choose the Direct Access --> Refresh Tree option to re-load the libraries. Now you've got a library of control cards that you can drag out and use each time you'd like a change.

Vincent,
There is not a way to save more than one set but it is an interesting idea!
best,

I will have to do a lot of simulations with different durations and time steps, but I wish not to manually change all the input of the control cards every time I do a simulation with, for example, a different .BUI file.For example; I would like to have simulations for four seasonal representative weeks of the year (21-st-28th of March, Jun, Sep, Dec) with a time step of 0,5 hour, and also half a year with a time step of one hour. I want to save the control cards, so I don't have to change the simulation start and step hours, the time step and the tolerances all the time.I hope my question is clear and that you can help me. Thanks in advance,Regards,Vincent Höfte
