Will this allow us to transfer data? SWEET!
Only thing better would be not needing to use data propagation between the worksheets (e.g. using rfile,
wfile, importData, exportData, ...).

Is more targeted to process data "remotely"; data transfer is driven by existing functions (also include());

I think the only other way, in the scenario drawn in the example of the first post, would be to transfer data via functions, that is not a feasible way as for now.

Also, I have to improve the log system to better recognize if there are errors in the target worksheets.

How is this different than "Include" plug in by Uni?

Mainly:

include() loads the SMath variables/functions from the target worksheet into the one in use, while in Run() each worksheet is indipendent;
include() can't run non-math regions (ComboBoxList, etc...) while Run() execute everything;

Problem in 98.6081?

Hello collab ndtma,

Don't take my comment bad. Your snippets are always blurry [not comfortable].
You can "PrintScreen" paste in Paint to select the portion. That results in
huge BMP... then reduce to 256 via IrfanView: superfreeware of multiuse ...
mostly: sharpen image, superbe Lanczos zoon [square/rectangular] gray/color
images ++++ .
I use this technique as well as capture a selected region from WinGrab
[freeware]. Wingrag has more options to reduce 256 colors, in many difficult
cases of better quality than IrfanView, though is does not apply to Smath snippets.

Cheers, Jean

Hello Jean,

Thanks for your valuable suggestions.

Hello ndtma,

yes, seems there are isSies with the process handle. I'm looking to find the cause and if I can solve it

Issue found.


edit: fixed in SS 0.98.6179

Hi Davide, I created my own example with a 3x3 excel table and it takes about 6 seconds for the "Run" function to execute each row of test data during the for loop. The smath sheet it's running contains 2 variables multiplied together and output as a variable 'd'. Your entire example runs in 22 seconds, with definitely a bit more complexity, but not much. Any ideas here? I'd like to run 400 rows of data (load cases for different members) through a calc sheet and collect the results, just like you've done (except only one calc sheet, not 3 like you've done).

thx!

Currently each Run function triggers a new instance of SMath Studio; this means that all the initialization process must be done every time, rising the execution time. What you can try is to change the logic to start a single run with multiple worksheets, and init/finalize each loop step in a dedicated file.

new loopSheet.sm


initCalc.sm


handleCalcResults.sm

Thanks for the response Davide.

So I went ahead and tried out your idea, it does solve the only 'running' once issue and finishes the script in 6 seconds no matter what.

But now I have the issue where the Run(exec) command does not seem to be running all the scripts in the exec matrix, or somehow it's only saving the first 'calcResults' in 'allResults'. That said, I was successful in manually looping the 3 sheets, so I thin something is going on incorrectly in the run(exec) line.

You can see what I did in the gifs below if you open them full size in a new tab..

Thoughts?

That I don't understand the idea/purpose of run does not indicate it is useless.
Do you mean run would calculate in a cash of some sort a selection of work sheets
and then would show all calculated by clicking "Open file" ?

Hi K. Gif shows that you modify iniCalc.sm (disabling some calcs) but don't save it, so others SMath files read the original iniCalc.sm, not the modified. Is this the issue or I'm are not understanding something else?

Best regards.
Alvaro.

I reran it after saving everything and the same thing happened..here's a non-gif image and the files. I guess Davide's example ran fine so I should be able to figure this out haha. I'm currently troubleshooting so stay posted

This gave me what I want..
Run(exec)
Run(exec)
Run(exec)


I quit, there's something with run() only running files if they have a different name, or the Run(exec) is called again (like above). I created a new, simpler example.. Below shows that if exec is defined with 3 separate but identical calc.sm files (calc1.sm, calc2.sm, etc) then run(exec) will run all 3 files and the allResults var is fully populated. If I define exec as a vector with all the same calc.sm files then it won't work and allResults will just end up with the first result.

You are right, I have to investigate it.

Document calcSheet calculates nothing [no maths/formula(s)/result(s)]
Certainly no gadget will retrieve something from nothing, is it ?

If calcSheet calculates something, save to file and retrieve from
any other Smath work sheet. On the other hand, you may save formula(s)
in calcsheet and retrieve from any other Smath work sheet then modify
the formula(s) in the working document ... per say change parameters.

You say nothing about what you have in mind.

I know in this case calcSheet.sm is not "calculating" anything. The whole problem we're trying to solve is looping a large data set through the calcSheet, row by row, which processes the data with whatever formulas we want, in this case it's 1*data my previous example actually took one of the values in the 'current row' and multiplied it by 3. I just wanted to make the example here as simple as possible so we could hone in on the problem.

Simply attach the basic project and describe the next part of the project.
As you explain, it looks weird from maybe baby simple.
