Running large number of simulations

Dear sirs,

I have 16 input parameters each with 3 different values to study their impact on the LCoE, so I have to run 3^16 simulations. Is there any way to do that without minimizing the number of factors? I'm a new user and I just read briefly about SAM API and SDK. So I want to know if I can write a python or MATlab code and integrate SDK into that environment so I can run all the simulations there while exporting the output (LCoE) of each simulation to an Excel spreadsheet. So I want to know if it's feasible to run all the simulations and get all the outputs at the end?

Thank you.

Kind regards.

Hi Nada,

You can do that using the SAM SDK, or you could use parametric simulations as described in the video on this page:

You could also use LK script to run the simulations from SAM's user interface:

Best regards,
Paul.
