[TRNSYS-users] How to accelerate running .dck files from the command line

[Roberts Joseph Alexander]

Hello all,

As part of a master + slave simulation, I'm trying to run .dck files from the command line as a python script as follows:
import subprocess
subprocess.run([r"C:\Trnsys17\Exe\TRNExe.exe",r"C:\zGithub\ExampleTRNSYSmodel.dck","/h"])

The simulations are quite short (just a week or so), but I've noticed the majority of the computational time is dedicated to some sort of initialization, i.e. a 1 week simulation takes about 4 s, and a 2 week simulation under 5 s. Is there any way I can shave down this time (since making the simulations shorter has diminishing returns)?

Many thanks,
Joe
