How to programmatically execute FlexSim model?

Hi,

I want to execute a FlexSim HC model (.fsm) file programmatically by providing it Patient Arrivals as input.

The FlexSim model (.fsm) contains experiment variables and all the necessary inputs like Process time, Staff/Resource schedules etc. embedded and the model is also configured to create the output files.

I want to invoke the FlexSim exe file programmatically to run the model/experiment by passing it the model file (.fsm) and the Patient Arrival appointment time (.csv). Once the execution is complete, I would expect the Output files to be generated in the respective directory from which I will extract the statistics and build some plots.

Any suggestions on how to execute the model programmatically?

Thanks

Ranjith

Software Version:

FlexSim HC 5.3.4
