A number of command line parameters may be supplied to the SIMetrix binary (SIMetrix.exe) when starting the program. The full syntax is as follows:
| SIMetrix(.exe) [schematic_file] [/s startup_script] [/i] [/n] |
| [/c config_location] [/r product_code] |
| schematic_file | Path of a schematic file usually with extension .sxsch. This file will be opened immediately. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| /s startup_script | Name of script file or command that will be executed immediately after SIMetrix starts. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| /i | If specified, the schematic_file or/and startup_script will be opened/run in an existing instance of SIMetrix if there is one. That is, a new instance will not be started unless none are already running. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| /n | Now a legacy option. Originally inhibited the display of the splash screen. The splash screen was removed from version 5.1 so this option now does nothing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
/c config_location |
This identifies where SIMetrix stores its configuration settings. config_location should be of the form:
See Configuration Settings for details of configuration settings. The 'REG;' syntax available with earlier versions is no longer supported. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
/r product_code |
Code that defines which product to request from the license server. By default, SIMetrix attempts to checkout the highest spec product available from the license server. If this option is specified the product listed in the following table will be checked out if it is available. This can be used to leave features that you are not using available to other users.

Start-up parameters can also be specified in a file called startup.ini. This must be located in the same directory as SIMetrix.exe. The format of the file is as follows:
| [StartUp] |
| settings |
settings can be any combination of the following:
| StartupScript=startup_script (equivalent to /s on command line) |
| UsePrevInst= (equivalent to /i on command line) |
| InhibitSplash= (equivalent to /n on command line) |
| ConfigLoc=config_location (equivalent to /c on command line) |
| Features=features (equivalent to /f on command line) |
