Disable Scenario in Experimenter

[ FlexSim 16.1.2 ]

Is there a way to disable individual experiments in the Experimenter? I sometimes want to only run a subset of my defined experiments rather than the entire list. Also - If there was a way to define the experiments outside of FlexSim (in Excel for example) and then paste them into FlexSim, that would be great!

I am unsure about disabling certain scenarios, or importing from Excel. One thing you might try though, is to make a duplicate of your model, and in the duplicate delete or remove the items you don't want to test.

Unfortunately this is not an available feature at this point. It is on our radar for a future release, though.

That would work.

OK. I'll just plan to use the "endreplication(1)" command on a "Run Start Model Trigger" if a scenario variable is set to a specific number. At least it won't run the experiment then.

I ended up going into the experimenter Advanced/Start of Replication tab and putting in a command to execute an endreplication if one of my experiment variables was set to "1". This allows me to skip running selected experiments during an experiment run. (they just end before they start to run).
