Run Flexsim.exe and open the file at the same time.

I’d like to through the code “ trigger flexsim 7.7 exe” that I wrote by DOS system, I hope once execution the program, thenit couldtrigger to run Flexsim main program, and open one model file at the same time (without choosing and clicking the file separately.) In another word, I want to open Flexsim main program and one of Flexsim’s model file synchronously by my trigger exe. Is it available? If yes, how should I do? Kindly advise, thanks!

Software Version:

FlexSim 7.7.4

trigger

Here is some documentation for how to start FlexSim from the command line (or a batch file), open a model, and even run arbitrary FlexScript upon opening it, along with other options (like running silently with no interface or message prompts):

Hi, Jackie.

Try to create a new text document, and write the path of your fsm. file, for example "C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\XXX.fsm" if the file XXX is in the desktop of your computer.

Save it and change .txt to .bat and run it.

May it helps.
