SetupMaxwell.enable_control_program(control_program_path, control_program_args=' ', call_after_last_step=False)

Enable control program option is solution setup.

Provide externally created executable files, or Python (*.py) scripts that are called after each time step, and allow you to control the source input, circuit elements, mechanical quantities, time step, and stopping criteria, based on the updated solutions.

Parameters:

control_program_pathstr

File path of control program.

control_program_argsstr, optional

Arguments to pass to control program. Default value is " ".

call_after_last_stepbool, optional

If True the control program is called after the simulation is completed. Default value is False.

Returns:

bool

True if successful, False if it fails.

Notes

By default a control program script will be called by the pre-installed Python interpreter: <install_path>\Win64\commonfiles\CPython\37\winx64\Release\python\python.exe. However, the user can specify a custom Python interpreter to be used by setting following environment variable: EM_CTRL_PROG_PYTHON_PATH=<path_to\python.exe>
