Running the model

When running a new case, it is recommended to create a new folder for the case outside of the GenX repository. This folder should contain all the .csv input files described in the GenX Inputs section, as well as the settings folder containing at least the genx_settings.yml and [solver_name].yml files.

Once the model and the solver are set up, and once all the .csv input files are ready, GenX can be run using the following command:

$ julia --project=/path/to/GenX

julia> using GenX
julia> run_genx_case!("/path/to/case")

where /path/to/GenX is the path to the GenX repository, and /path/to/case is the path to the folder of the case.

Alternatively, you can create a Run.jl file with the following code:

using GenX
run_genx_case!(dirname(@__FILE__))

and and place it in the case folder. Then, you can run the case by opening a terminal and running the following command:

$ julia --project="/path/to/GenX" /path/to/case/Run.jl

where /path/to/GenX is the path to the GenX repository, and /path/to/case is the path to the folder of the case.

The output files will be saved in the Results folder inside the case folder. Check out the GenX Outputs section for more information on the output files.
