N2  - The process of agricultural simulation using APSIM requires input meteorological data to be prepared
in a specific format and the simulation setting file to be ready before the simulation processing starts. Because
of possible time savings when conducting large number of simulations at once, it is preferable to create all
the input and settings files for all the simulations beforehand and process the simulations in batches as large
as possible. This article specifically deals with the data acquisition, transformation and preparation process.
It also outlines initial testing and computing time estimations and discusses scheduling, parallel processing
and other possible simulation optimization methods.
