[TRNSYS-users] Close TRNSYS Automation

[Marcus]

Hi Andrea,

I've made similar efforts in Python. I posted a bit online;

http://www.optimalenergetics.com/Blog/parallel-execution-of-a-batch-of-simulation-runs/

As already mentioned by David, I used the /h switch to run in the
background. Furthermore, I track the process ID in python and loop until it
closes, then spin up the next simulation. I also the current CPU percentage
so you always run at 80% for example, to use all the cores on your machine
in parallel.

Good luck and let me know if you run into anything else,

Marcus
