create_case() args

Hello, 

I have been having difficulty calling scripts from cmd. The script works fine when called form an existing project, but simulations fail when calling it through cmd. I am trying to create a case in the script, but the create_case() below get the error "Internal Error: could not locate configuration information for Detailed PV Model/No Financial Model". I haven't been able to glean what I am doing wrong from any of the examples on Github.

create_case('Detailed PV Model', 'No Financial Model', 'Name');

Thank you,
Andrew Low

Hi Andrew,

Unfortunately, the name of the Detailed PV performance model is "Flat Plate PV". For no financial model, the name is "None". Saving an LK script named "test.lk" containing the following should work:

create_case('Flat Plate PV','None','test');

In Windows with SAM 2026.7.3, you could run that from the command line with:

C:\SAM\2026.7.3\x64\sam.exe abc path\to\test.lk

To see a list of performance model names in LK, you can use:

x = list_technologies();
outln(x);

Similarly, you can use list_financing("Flat Plate PV") to create a list of financial models available for the Detailed PV model.

Best regards,
Paul.

Good to know. Thank you for clarifying!
