I will be running an optimization algorithm in Python so, this algorithm will need to actively change the model parameters based on the old simulation results (iterative process basically). <\/p>\n<p>Based on my current knowledge, I can go to tools and start recording a script in Python 2. Then, I can open my project and run the script which will do the same actions that I recorded. Also, I know that there is a scripting guide with a list of functions. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>However, I have the following questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>I recorded a simple .py script that changes the model&#039;s parameters values, analyzes the model, and saves some results.
