I would like to ask if this distribution simulator (DSSim-PC) can support parallel simulations. Just to give an example: running in parallel 2 matlab scripts where each script will use 2 different simulations of DSSim-PC.
At the moment I am using OpenDSS for my simulations which doesn't support multi-core processing or multi-thread. So I was wondering if this is available with your application.
Or any work around to run DSSim-PC in parallel.

Andreas

Thanks for your interest on DSSim-PC. Well, DSSim-PC is the non deterministic version of DSSim-RT, fot this reason, the multicore capabilities of DSSim are limited in the PC version. Basically what you can find in the PC version are the same OpenDSS capabilities plus advanced capabilities.
But don't worry, there is a possibility with the problem you are proposing. Because DSSim-PC communication is made using a TCP server, you can mount on your PC 1 virtual machine. This way you will be able to run multiple simulations at the same time. To communicate with the simulations you can use the MATLAB library designed for DSSim-PC. In the code of this library you can specify the IP address of each machine and as result, you will be able to communicate and simulate all the systems you want using N number of virtual machines. I believe this is an easy and effective way to solve your problem.
I hope it helps (please let me know your opinion).
