Run a simulation from command shell Window or Linux

[jonathanlsn]

Hello all, I have to run many simulations on Mobi/PK-Sim and I would like to automate the simulation process. I would like to know if there is a way to execute a simulation from Windows or Linux command shell ?

Thank you in advance.

You can do it via the OSP R-toolbox (both under Windows and Linux); s. the documentaion for details.

• R-Toolbox is not part of the OSP Suite setup and must be installed separately. Installation steps depend on the operating system and are described in the documentation.
• Current version of the R-Toolbox works only with R 3, not with R 4

R-Toolbox works with simulations in pkml format. If you have only PK-Sim/MoBi projects - you must export all simulations of interest as pkml.

• For PK-Sim it can be done via the PK-Sim CLI (command line interface) - s. the documentaion for details. E.g.
  PKSim.CLI export -p "C:\Temp\ExampleProject.pksim5" -o "C:\Temp\Output" --pkml
• For MoBi you can export simulations as pkml only manually.

P.S. If you just want to run simulations AS IS and export simulations results, you can do it with PK-Sim CLI only, e.g.
PKSim.CLI export -p "C:\Temp\ExampleProject.pksim5" -o "C:\Temp\Output" --csv --json -- excel
As soon as you need any kind of simulation modifications (change parameter values, select other outputs of interest, change output resolution, etc.) or if you need to get more information out of the simulation (e.g. need some knowledge about input parameters etc.) - you would need the R-Toolbox.

Perfect, thank you a lot !
