Save model by FlexScript

Hi

I use Flexsim to verify my algorithm, but after several iterations, the program sometimes shuts down due to insufficient memory. I want the model to be automatically saved during the iteration process, this allows me to keep the latest results when crashingand ,and not to pop up a window asking me to click OK. What should I do?

I've trued this https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/166210/save-the-model-using-code-given-a-path.html

It looks like the save was successful, but this error message pops up.

Thanks.

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.2.0

Hey @Jimmy, I think the issue is the save path doesn't have everything it needs. If you use the modeldir() function in conjunction with the text you are using, it will save the model in the same directory where it is currently saved:

modeldir() + "mySavePath.fsm"

Putting it all together:

applicationcommand("executescripts",node("MAIN:/project/events/OnSaveModelAutoIncrement"),modeldir() + "mySavePath.fsm",0);

If there is already a file with the mySavePath.fsm name, it will overwrite the file. Or if there isn't a file by that name yet, a new save file will be created.

It seems like if you want to mimic the behavior of the auto increment save feature, you'll need to keep track of which iteration you're on, increment the number yourself, and adjust the "mySavePath.fsm" text accordingly.
