Hello - I am trying to run SWMM5 (V21) from the command line but the model is not running as expected. Upon command line execution, the SWMM GUI opens up and the command prompt opens displaying...
C:\swmmbat>epaswmm5.exe iter1.inp report.rpt output.out
(there is a space between the file names)
...but the model does not run. If I run the .inp file directly from the GUI, the model runs just fine (suggesting no problems with the input file). I've tried executing using several different methods (directly through command prompt, batch file and Matlab) but nothing works.
I have the epaswmm5.exe and swmm5.dll files located in the following folder along with the attached rainfall, input and batch files. (apologies for the large rainfall file).
C:\swmmbat
My batch file syntax is:
epaswmm5.exe iter1.inp report.rpt output.out
(yes, the batch file is located in the same folder as the .exe and .inp files and there are spaces inbetween file names)
My Matlab code is:
cd('C:\swmmbat');
dos('epaswmm5.exe iter1.inp report.rpt output.out');
(NOTE: I've also tried the 'system' command..same results)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might offer.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
Instead of epaswmm5.exe iter1.inp report.rpt output.out
it should be swmm5.exe iter1.inp report.rpt output.out
epaswmm5.exe is the GUI and SWMM5.exe is the dos command line executable
Here is the dos version for SWMM 5.0.021
Ah ha. That certainly was the problem. Thanks so much for the quick reply, Robert.
