Experiment Scenario Slow Initialization

1719243992503.png1719243973407.png

Hi, I am using "Experiment" to analyze different scenarios. The problem I'm having is that the model becomes very slow if more scenarios are specified. It takes really fast with 100 scenarios, but if I try to set number scenarios to 2000 or more (I have 12000 scenarios total) the software become really slow and cant even finish setting scenarios. And this is only a simple 1 queue model. Can anyone help me with this problem? If this is a program level problem which cant be solved, is there any way to run it in batch (Like control the software simulation via python) as run 120 times with 100 scenarios manually is troublesome.

Hello @Melencolia,

For starters you probably need to look into range-based experiments.

We were able to see that it takes time to create 12000 scenarios and were able to identify some ways to speed up the creation. However, the scenarios per experiment is not limited on the Jobs tab but on the Run tab. The Run tab is limited in how much it can draw. For this reason, we suggest you limit an experiment job to 1000 entries.
