Running a batch vs. a single run with an .xls-file

Asked by Michel Van de gaer

In the file you made, the group sim (ell2d-grp.py) is one with all the different sizes of ellipsoids, although in the tittle of the .xl file you write ‘equal’ (ell2d-grp.equal.xls), so I'm guessing that it’s possible to do a (single) batch run starting with that Excel-file … but how does one start that batch run ... or is there a more straightforward way to set all the ellipsoids to the same size?

Hi, the XLS file serves to override the parameters in woo.batch.readParamsFromTable (those are the defaults when the script is used outside the batch), one line per simulation (http://woodem.eu/doc/user/batch.html).

So you can either change the defaults in the scripts (in woo.batch.readParamsFromTable) which are used when table is not given, or run the script in batch, using something like:

woo_batch ell2d-grp.equal.xls ell2d-grp.py

When using the EllGroup preprocessor, you save the preprocessor into a file and then use the XLS table to override parameters in the preprocessor, something like

woo-batch ell2d-grp.xls ellgrp.preprocessor

HTH, Václav
