[ FlexSim 22.1.4 ]

Hi，I can use cmd to complete, open flexim, and execute the script code in txt format. But I don't want to write flexsimscript in a txt document. Can I write the script code directly?

"C:\Program Files\Flexsim 2022 Update 1\program\flexsim.exe" "C:\Users\SHENNAN.WU\Desktop\test.fsm" /maintenance disablemsg_runscript /scriptpath "C:\Users\SHENNAN.WU\Desktop\test.text"

If you don't want to use this technique use one of the others we linked to in your other post.

Why don't you want to write a text file?

This is an unusual request for assessed coursework - is it part of a student project/thesis?

hi，jason！Thank you for your answer！
Because after writing a document txt, it is difficult for him to make changes. I want to use C++to directly write script code on Visual Studio, and then control Lexsim to run. Can this requirement be implemented？

We encourage students to do the research and try to implement something and can offer guidance when they get stuck. Here's the relevant information:

Module SDK

executeString

You can also use sockets, http and emulation to control FlexSim.
