Generate model script

Scripting menu

The File > Generate model script menu provides the following functions:

• Python Generate Python script file

• C++ Generate CPP source file

• Visual Basic for Applications Generate VBA script file

These functions are related to the Simcenter Amesim API. They generate Python, C or VBA code corresponding to the currently-active system.

This function has been created to save you time during API script creation. Instead of writing a script from scratch, you can create your system with Simcenter Amesim, then launch the scripting function, which creates a script skeleton for you.

Note

Scripts generated from systems created with older versions of Simcenter Amesim (prior to 7.0) will work, but will not contain rotation and flip instructions.

For more information, please consult the Simcenter Amesim API manual.

Warning

When you generate a script file for a Simcenter Amesim model, if that model contains unsupported features (such as statecharts, bus junctions or linear analysis) the generated script will ignore the unsupported feature. The features supported by script generation are listed in the table below.
