I have two define_on_demand macros called “run1” and “run2”.<\/p>\n

“run1” spits out an output x<\/strong><\/em>. “run2” uses x<\/strong><\/em>, as well as a parameter y<\/em><\/strong> obtained from Get_Input_Parameter, to spit out another output z<\/strong><\/em>, so z = <\/strong>z<\/strong>(x,y)<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

I am trying to build a workflow that does something like this:
1. Call “run1” to get x<\/strong><\/em>.
2. Set a value of y<\/strong><\/em>, call “run2” to get z<\/strong><\/em>, save results.
3. Repeat previous step for different values of y<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The reason I do not want to combine “run1” and “run2” into a single define_on_demand macro is because I only need to execute “run1” once. If I combine it into a single macro with “run2”, then “run1” would execute every single time with “run2”, which is unnecessary and potentially time-consuming.<\/p>\n

Is there a way to do this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-277580","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-udf"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["279402"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.74.173"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["147"],"_edit_lock":["1680500525:211250"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["277580"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["279402"],"_bbp_voice_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["277584"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["277584"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-04-03 05:33:55"]},"test":"kenneth-funglciconsultants-com-au"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/277580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/277580\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
