Automated simulation with fixed number of simulations

I have written some codes in Matlab. This program will output some figures. I want to automate this simulation. I want to run this program 2000 times and save all the figures generated during simulations. Anybody knows how?

Hi @Starry,

To automate MATLAB simulation and save the generated figures, create a script that runs simulation in a loop for 2000 iterations. Here’s a basic outline of how it can be achieved:

% Define the number of iterations
numIterations = 2000;

% Loop over the number of iterations
for i = 1:numIterations
    % Run your simulation or function here
    % Example: result = mySimulationFunction();
    
    % Assuming your simulation generates a figure
    % Get the current figure handle
    fig = gcf; % or use figure handle if multiple figures is required

    % Define a filename for saving the figure
    filename = sprintf('figure_%04d.png', i); % Save as PNG with a unique name

    % Save the figure
    saveas(fig, filename); % or use print function for more options
    % Example: print(fig, filename, '-dpng');
    
    % Close the figure if needed
    close(fig);
end

After each simulation run, save the generated figures using the 'saveas' or 'print' function.

I hope this was helpful.
