Hi all,
I have multiple S3P files and would like to run all these files simultaneously. I know one method is to have one model for each file but I was wondering if there is a simpler way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. I don't quite understand what the sweep plan is doing, what the variable equation is doing and what the parametric sweep is doing. Could you please explain it a little bit? What are the file names you have set? I have set them as SD1.s3p, SD2.s3p and so on. Can you tell me what to do in reference to this?
Thank you once again!
it seems that you already solved your problem with batch sweep, but let me answer your question. The result format is a bit different between batch sweep and swept parameters, so both can be useful.

We start with a variable that has a dummy value. The value of that variable is changed by parameter sweep. In my case the required variable values are not just counting up (n=1, 2, 3, ...) , but a certain list of discrete values. To sweep across that list of values, a Sweep Plan can be specified in the Parameter Sweep dialog.
Now the file names are created from these numbers using the sprintf() function. You might know that function from various programming languages, and we can use it in ADS as well. The results in my case are file names like "LINE_400_corrected.S2P", then "LINE_880_corrected.S2P" and so on.
If your names are entirely different and that sprintf() isn't applicable, there is also a FileList or a Strings item in the Batch simulation palette.
Best regards

I found a way to do it. I used a Batch sweep to sweep an index variable, a DAC to read the index and fetch the file name and an SnP block to read this file name and do the simulation. It is working perfectly. Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it! Thanks!
