Hope to repeat hydraulic simultion many times.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I need to use Monte Carlo Method with epanet. I would like to use epanet open an inp file and run hydraulic simulation. And repeat these processes many times.

When I open an inp file, I always need to load and unload the epanet2.dll which are really time-consuming.

Maybe we can make the processes of load and unload the epanet2.dll independent with opening inp file.
Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe we can
t = epanet() % load epanet2.dll
for i = 1:10
t.open(inpfile{i}) % open an inp file
t.writeReport()
t,closeNetwork
end
t.unload %unload epanet2.dll

You can use this example for the same network

clear; close('all'); clc;
start_toolkit;
d=epanet('Net1.inp');
for i = 1:3
d.loadEPANETFile(d.TempInpFile)
% Set new values for parameters
d.setNodeElevations(rand(1, d.getNodeCount)*100)

% create reports
d.solveCompleteHydraulics;
d.solveCompleteQuality;
d.setReportFormatReset;
d.setReport(['FILE report', num2str(i), '.txt']); 
d.setReport('NODES ALL');
d.setReport('LINKS ALL');
d.writeReport;
end

d.unload;

and this example for different networks:

clear; close('all'); clc;
start_toolkit;

for i = 1:3
    d = epanet(['Net',num2str(i),'.inp'], 'loadfile');
    % Set new values for parameters
    d.setNodeElevations(rand(1, d.getNodeCount)*100)
    % create reports
    d.solveCompleteHydraulics;
    d.solveCompleteQuality;
    d.setReportFormatReset;
    d.setReport(['FILE report', num2str(i), '.txt']); 
    d.setReport('NODES ALL');
    d.setReport('LINKS ALL');
    d.writeReport;
end
