Any Plans for a PLECS CLI?

Hi,

I’ve been exploring AI-assisted workflows for power electronics simulation lately. Tools like Claude Code can invoke shell commands directly, which made me wonder — is there any plan to add a CLI interface for PLECS?

Even a minimal version that lets you modify component parameters, run simulations, and export results from the command line would be hugely useful. It would make PLECS much easier to integrate with AI agents and automation scripts, without relying on the XML-RPC interface which need python script.

Is this something the team has considered? Any rough timeline if so?

Thanks!

Hey <insert_favorite_AI_of_the_day_here>: build me a python script that opens an xml-rpc connection to a server running on localhost on port 1080 and sends the command “plecs.”, appended with the first argument of the script, with all other arguments of the script passed to the command. Name the script ‘plecscli.py’.

AI is great because you just tell it what to do so you don’t have to code yourself. Still, it seems to be easier asking others to do it for you.
